Gloucester Cheese Rolling Run - Rosie Davies

Hi everyone! My name is Rosie Davies, I’m 12 years old, and this year I’ve decided to do something a little bit crazy to help my favourite animals. On 25/05/2026, I’ll be taking on the famous Gloucester Cheese Roll Uphill Race!

Shrewsbury rabbit rescue is a not for profit, ethical rescue and sanctuary in Shropshire. We’re very proud of our gold standard vet care and ability to make a real difference in bettering the lives of rabbits across the UK.

Story

For the love of Buddy: Turning grief into action

We are raising money in loving memory of a very special rabbit named Buddy.

Buddy was absolutely adored by our family, and losing him was heartbreaking. Even now, the loss is difficult for us to process. When Buddy passed, he left behind his best friend, Bella, who fell into a deep depression without her companion.

Despite her own heartbreak, Rosie spent hours sitting with Bella, comforting her and trying to help her heal. It was during this difficult time that Rosie made a promise to herself. Like many pet owners, we struggled with guilt after Buddy died—blaming ourselves and wondering if we had missed signs or if we could have done more.

Determined to turn that pain into something positive, Rosie threw herself into learning everything possible about rabbit welfare. She researched their health, happiness, and complex needs to ensure no sign would ever be missed again.

Since then, Rosie has opened her heart to two rescues: Teddy (a New Zealand White) and Mable (a beautiful Rex). She has learned so much that people now come to her for advice on how to care for their bunnies.

We will never know exactly what happened to Buddy, and we miss him terribly every day. But his legacy lives on. He inspired Rosie to become a champion for other rabbits, ensuring they get the happy, healthy lives they deserve.

Please donate to help Rosie continue this journey and help other animals in need.
