Cycle from Lithuania to England
Fundraising for Bristol & Wales Cat Rescue
This July, Iāll be attempting to cycle 1,400 milesāall the way from Lithuania to Englandāto raise money for a small but absolutely incredible charity that means the world to me: Bristol & Wales Cat Rescue (BWCR).
Why BWCR you ask?
Weāve fostered two cats through BWCR. First came Patch, a lovely furball who eventually found his forever home. Then came Mushāand thatās where things got even more personal.
Mush was found starving in someoneās garden in Wales, rummaging through a Doritos bag just trying to survive. When he was rescued, the vet found he had ear cancer. The tips of his ears had to be removed, and shortly after his operation, we were lucky enough to foster him.
We were told his stitches would dissolve on their ownābut they didnāt. Weeks went by, and his ears got worse, looking sore and even infected. Eventually, we learned the stitches werenāt dissolvable at allāthey were growing into his skin. For weeks, we took him to the vet twice a week to have the stitches painfully removed, bit by bit.
But BWCR covered every single costāfrom treatment to microchipping, vaccinations, food, litter, toys, everything. Without them, Mush may not have survived.
And yes, we officially failed at fostering and Mush became a permanent part of our family. š
Now, Mush is coming on this journey with me (not cycling, donāt worryāheāll be chilling in the support car (he loves traveling) with my boyfriend).
Thatās just one story out of countless others. BWCR is run entirely by volunteers, and theyāve helped so many cats like Mush every single dayāoften with urgent medical needsāfind safety, health, and love. But all of that comes at a cost.
Right now, theyāre in around Ā£5,000 of debt from helping so many kitties this year.
š± So Iām cycling across Europe to help raise funds and awareness. They need our support to keep doing their amazing work.
Every donation helpsāno matter the size.
š Iām fundraising through JustGiving page, and there's a chance my workplace, British Gas, may offer matched funding of up to Ā£500āso your donations could go even further!
