I am a Volunteer Dog Breeder with Canine Partners. Many of my followers will know that I have a delightful brood bitch called Crunchy whose pups will go on to become the next generation of assistance dogs. I'm taking part in the Canine Partners Strive for 35 Challenge because I believe in the incredible bond between humans and dogs.

So what's the challenge? Following a nasty fall in January I became incapacitated just 10 days after Crunchy's pups were born. Canine Partners fostered the pups while I was in hospital but now that I am out I'm ready to raise funds and I need your help. I love salsa dancing and I'm going to dance for at least 35 minutes once a week - with or without a walking aid - alone or with a partner - at home or in a class!

This event, happening throughout March, is an opportunity to raise awareness and funds for a cause that transforms lives. Canine Partners trains amazing assistance dogs that help individuals with disabilities lead more independent lives.

Every donation counts! I reached my original target of £500 to support this fantastic initiative and now I've increased it to £600. Your support can make a real difference! Join me in this journey and help us create more partnerships that change lives for the better. Together, we can make it happen!
