93.4% of people reported feeling heartbroken after losing a pet* and I certainly know how that feels. The grief is real, yet many people feel they have to carry it quietly, unsupported. Walk to Remember is the RSPCA's response to the need for greater understanding and support around pet grief.

Taking place on National Pet Memorial Day (14 September), Lawrence and I will be walking to celebrate the bond we shared with Poppy, and to help other animals in need. We have chosen to go to shoreham, a place which Poppy always loved and holds so many precious memories for us. Going there without her will be hard but doing this I hope will allow us to feel close to her and remember the good times (and ofcourse all of the times she ran off and scared us silly!).

So, please donate and help me turn precious memories into meaningful support – letting the love live on through every penny raised.

Poppy Pumba Burton we will love you always. X
