From 1st April, we're setting you the challenge to take on a virtual marathon or a distance of your choice within 30 days to support Bath Cats and Dogs Home. You can walk or run the distance alone or with your pooch as part of your daily exercise!

After having to sadly shut the Home to the public for most of 2020 and cancel or postpone our main fundraising events due to Covid-19, we need your help to try and raise money so that we can keep giving expert care to vulnerable animals! So, we're setting up a challenge you can do with your pooch or without, from Thursday 1st April, running over 30 days until Friday 30th April!

You can sign up by clicking 'Start Fundraising' and setting up your own JustGiving page. You can even connect your page to the running/walking app Strava to update your sponsors on your progress! Ask your friends and family to sponsor you, it will really help you get those miles done and all we ask is a small target of £100. You'll be surprised how easy it is. £100 would be enough to help us to provide a safe kennel to an abandoned dog for over 2 weeks or can help pay to vaccinate a litter of kittens and keep them fed and cared for over a month.

All of our amazing fundraisers will get support from our fundraising team, receive a Bath Cats & Dogs Home t-shirt to proudly wear, plus a medal and certificate once you have completed your challenge and hit your £100 fundraising target!

By taking part in this challenge, you can help us to look after animals like Oscar, who came to us as a stray needing urgent medical attention and he soon transformed in our care. With your help, we can continue to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome more animals like Oscar who have nowhere else to go.

Remember to follow government guidance on daily exercise allowance and guidelines on social distancing when you're out and about.

Thank you so much for supporting cats and dogs in need!
