Hi everyone,

Twenty years ago, I walked dogs and cleaned pens at Battersea (then known as Battersea Dogs and Cats Home) as a volunteer after my days working in a London office. The level of care for rescued animals then was extraordinary already! I’d cry on the way home, wanting to adopt them all... Battersea certainly inspired me to adopt Carmen 💙

Now, as I embark on a new career as a dog trainer, supporting Battersea feels like the obvious choice. After my transformative journey supporting rhino conservation last year, I'm ready to push my limits again for dogs and cats welfare in 2024:

May 18th:

1 Mile Greater Manchester Swim ☑️

September 22nd:

Warrington Half Marathon for me, Junior Race for my 6-year-old daughter Zoe!

Expect sweaty selfies with doggos in toe!

Your support means everything—every donation helps provide shelter, care, and forever homes for dogs and cats in need.

Thank you for your continued support. You rock 🪨 😉

Leo and Zoe X
