Story

Chapel Farm are very excited to have
arranged a doggie swimathon in aid of Marie Curie. We
don't think there as been an event like this ever before!

In July 2016 we sadly lost a very close client of ours to an all too short
battle with cancer. Jenny was loved by everyone at Chapel Farm and for years herself and her husband Chris were bringing their late dog Rocky for treatment and more recently their new troublesome puppy Buddy to see us.

We want to arrange something in Jenny's memory and as
Buddy loves nothing more than his swimming we thought it would be a
lovely tribute for Buddy to mascot at his very own swimathon.

The swimming slots will be 20minutes long and are for dogs with no medical conditions (PRIOR VETERINARY CONSENT IS REQUIRED). For each slot there is a minimum donation of £15 and every penny raised will be going to Marie Curie who were a great support to Jen and her family.

If you would like to take part or for any more information please contact us at Chapel Farm to book your slot!

We would love it if we could have a 12 hour swimathon; that would mean we need at least 36 dogs to participate!

Buddy (poster boy) will be our mascot for the day helping out where he can.

Please spread the word about this event; a brilliant cause for a brilliant lady!
