3 years ago we adopted Rodney, Effy's pup, from Hope Rescue. We had struggled to find a charity that would consider us, as Effy was 3 years old at the time. Hope Rescue were so thorough during the application and vetting process and when they decided we were the right home for Rodders, Effy nearly exploded with excitement! 

Rodney, Effy and our other dog Norman are pretty much inseparable and Effy wants to show her gratitude by trying to raise some money for Hope Rescue. 

We climbed Pen y Fan on New Year's Eve and once we'd reached the summit, Effy gave herself the challenge to climb Snowdon this year. 

We will be climbing on 28th May. Effy is very excited and will keep you updated with her progress!
