Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I have not witnessed as much cruelty towards animals than I have of the Yulin Dog Meat Festival that happens every summer in China. Dogs are boiled alive, carved up alive to be eaten at the festival and more unbearable things. Images that I will never be able to un-see. Cries that I will never be able to un-hear.
The charity that I am raising money for are a British charity who rescue dogs from this trade and keep them in shelters or re-home them. I have so much respect for all the people and charities putting an end to this trade.
I chose to walk to raise money because for me it is a challenge. I have had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (similar to the symptoms of Long Covid) for 7 years. I went from a more than average active woman, - yoga, running, swimming, living between two countries to not being able to get out of bed for more than 20 minutes. I am now recovering thankfully but I still am not able to exercise as I used to so for me and my history with fatigue this will be a challenge and one I’m up for!
I’ll be walking 10miles on Saturday March 18th (and more if I can) across Hadrian’s Wall come rain or shine! I can’t wait to raise money for this amazing charity. The dogs deserve a new life. I’ll be recording my my progress and taking lots of photos!
Thanks for donating and supporting my cause and the dogs ♥️ You’re ace.
