93.4% of people reported feeling heartbroken after losing a pet*. The grief is real, yet many people feel they have to carry it quietly, unsupported. Walk to Remember (do-it-your-way event) is the RSPCA's response to the need for greater understanding and support around pet grief – a gentle invitation to remember your pet, come together with family and friends, and create a lasting tribute in their name.

I'm walking in memory of Felix, my best friend of 16 years. I lost him earlier this year and thought this would be the perfect way to turn that heartbreak into something good. I'll be taking his ashes with me so that he'll be there with me every step of the way.

I'll also be remembering Nonny, my childhood dog, and Domino - Felix's brother.

Taking place on National Pet Memorial Day (14 September), I'll be walking to celebrate the bond shared with him, and to help other animals in need.So, please donate and help me turn precious memories into meaningful support – letting the love live on through every penny raised.
