**🐾 Walking for Pilchard – A Walk to Remember 🐾**

Back in May, I said goodbye to my beautiful boy, Pilchard. Losing him broke my heart.....pets aren’t just animals, they’re family, companions, and soulmates. Pilchard was my little lovebug, and life hasn’t felt the same without him.

In his memory, I’ll be taking part in the RSPCA’s Walk to Remember on 14th September, which falls on National Pet Memorial Day. This walk is a way to honour the pets we’ve lost and to support others who are grieving. The RSPCA is working to raise awareness around pet loss and grief—something 93.4%* of people say left them heartbroken, yet many feel they must carry that pain alone.

I’m hoping to raise £500 for the RSPCA, a charity that does incredible work helping animals in need. Every donation, no matter the size, will go toward giving vulnerable animals the care and love they deserve.

If you’ve ever loved and lost a pet, I know you’ll understand the depth of this journey. And if you’re going through it now, I send you all my love to you. 💔

Thank you for reading, and thank you to anyone who can donate or share this message. Let’s walk together—for Pilchard, and for all the pets who’ve left pawprints on our hearts. 🐾

Love,

Karis and Pilchy x
