Due to a medical issue, I've sadly had to drop out of climbing Ben Nevis for my amazing charity this month... so Jake will now be taking part with a new, less broken partner! - Rebecca

Jake and Mark are climbing Ben Nevis on 24th October with a dedicated team of animal lovers, to raise funds for animals in need.

IAPWA (International Aid for the Protection and Welfare of Animals) are dedicated to creating a better future for animals all around the world. Their first project, established in 2009, is based in Borneo, where they have a facility and team providing a lifeline to 1000's of stray dogs and cats every year in need of veterinary care and support. They also find many of these forever homes through their Adoption Programmes. IAPWA's companion animal programmes have since developed in other countries and they've also developed partnerships and launched campaigns to help other species too - and they're just getting started!

Wherever there is suffering, IAPWA aim to make a difference and with your support we can continue to protect and improve the welfare of animals worldwide. Thank you so much for any donation you are able to make to help us reach our target.
