CODIE'S CAMPAIGN
On Sunday 22nd of November, my family and I said goodnight to our beautiful dog Codie of eleven years, to a fast growing and spreading cancer of the spleen. It took us all by a total surprise as she deteriorated from a lively, active and healthy dog to something we never thought she would become in a matter of days.
There was an option for an operation but due to how fast the cancer had spread, it was not guaranteed to be successful. If it was it, would have only increased her life by a matter of a month or two, she would have still been suffering and would not be the same dog she once was. As much as we wanted her to stay with us, we did what was best for her and let her go to doggy heaven.
We are not the only family to have lost a pet to cancer and unfortunately we won’t be the last. The loss of Codie has motivated me to raise money and spread awareness of cancer in dogs in order to help other animals and owners who have been affected by cancer. I do this in the hope that they do not suffer like Codie and other countless animals do every day.
This is a personal campaign for my family and I and we invite you to either join us in our fundraising activity, sponsor a participant, help us raise awareness or simply donate to the charity directly. Every penny DOES count and WILL make a difference to the future or animals who suffer from various illnesses including cancer. Every penny the charity received goes towards research into diagnosis, prevention and curing.
So please, if you have a pet or have even lost a pet due to cancer, I would greatly appreciate it if you could donate as much or as little as you can. It’s not for me, it’s for our pets!
My goal is the raise at least £250 by climbing the equivalent of Kilimanjaro (5895 m) together with friends and family to donate to the AHT: http://www.aht.org.uk/ in the name of Codie’s Campaign.
You can either donate via this page or by giving money to a participant by filling our a sponsorship form.
If you wish to participate in the event, please contact myself or send an email to: codiescampaign@gmail.com
Thank you on behalf of my family and I who love and miss Codie with all our hearts.
