Climbing Kilimanjaro · 9 October 2025

We not only save animals from suffering, we also rehabilitate and release them back into the wild, whilst working to protect their habitats. We provide a safe haven for animals that can no longer fend for themselves. In all that we do, we work to find solutions that benefit both animals and people.

Story

Thanks for checking out my page.

Next year I was originally going to climb up Ben Nevis in an orangutan costume for IAR, but after everything that's happened, I decided it needed to be BIGGER... so i will be climbing the world's tallest freestanding mountain- Kilimanjaro, which is a massive 5895m! (The challenge will finish on the anniversary of Lewis' death.)

My golden retriever Lewis was my best friend and soulmate! He gave me so much purpose in life and also raised £1,000s for rescue animals over the years. He had the most stubborn, yet beautiful spirit. There's not a day that goes by that i don't miss him and i want to do the biggest challenge I can in memory of him.

Training for this challenge is tough, but it's already giving me direction and something else to focus on. I believe Lewis will be beside me the whole way, and it makes me happy to think that i'll be carrying on his work and raising vital funds for animals that need our help.

As sad as I am, I know Lewis had an extremely happy life. Not every animal gets to experience this. So, if you're willing to sponsor me for the biggest challenge i've done yet, I would be so grateful. You will be saving animals around the world that need our help!

Thank you so much!! Any donation really is appreciated!! :-)
