100km Ultra Challenge walk for The National Foundation For Retired Service Animals (NFRSA)

Lake District Ultra Challenge 2025 · 7 June 2025 to 8 June 2025 ·
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
In June 2025, Myself and Emily will be taking on the Ultra 100km challenge, raising money for NFRSA.
The National Foundation for Retired Service Animals is a registered charity supporting retired dogs and horses from the police, fire, prison, national crime agency, NHS, and border force services by helping with medical and veterinary bills, which inevitably occur as they get older.
When serving dogs and horses careers end, the financial support they have enjoyed whilst working, including food, kennels or stables, medical and veterinary requirements, training and equipment also comes to an end.
Unfortunately, meaningful insurance is almost impossible to obtain due to their age and training, and even if available, the premiums insurance companies charge for retired animals is incredibly high. This is obviously a worry for handlers who have their own financial obligations, and medical bills can be a real challenge.
With both of us being Dog Handlers and having that unmistakeable bond with our dogs, this charity is very close to our hearts. We could never imagine being in a place where we couldn't take them home at the end of their working life.
Please help us in raising money for this amazing charity!
