WHAT & WHY:

With annual SCHNAUZERFEST walks cancelled this year I want to support raising funds for this charity to raise awareness about puppy farming,  to support dogs rescued from puppy farms and to change people's perception of adopting a dog.

SCHNAUZERFEST  is a charity where no one is paid for work done, all money raised is spent to support dogs.

Since lockdown introduced in UK and more people working from home demand for puppies grow significantly (166% increase of phrase "buy a puppy' on google) and so did prices.

This is a golden opportunity  for puppy farmers, that's why raising awareness about cruel realities of puppy farming is very impotrant- always, but especially now.

I pledged to walk 300 miles in the dates between 01.10-31.12.20 with aim to raise £200 for SCHNAUZERFEST.

My walk will virtually take me from Southampton to Keswick in Lake District National Park, or it's like walking from my hometown (Częstochowa, Poland) to Warsaw - and back.

I will be grateful for every support, so if you have a spare pound found on  the back of your sofa... well, you know what I'm asking for...

Thank you for reading.
