Michelle Chandler is raising money for Thames Valley Animal Welfare

3 Peaks Challenge · 15 July 2025

TVAW have been helping cats in the local area for nearly 40 years.

Story

Hi I'm Michelle and I'm doing this challenge in memory of Mister Bojangles one of my beloved cats that sadly passed away in October 2023.

TVAW is a charity that's dear to the heart of my local vets who supported me for 3 and a half years, whilst my dear Bo battled with renal failure. Seeing what he went through has inspired me to raise funds for other cats and kittens in need.

Having fostered a mother and 3 kittens for a short time last year made me realise how important this charity is. TVAW helps cats and kittens who have been handed in, abandoned, abused, or dumped, and since the pandemic and cost of living crisis there has been a massive increase in the amount of cats needing care and re homing, and the TVAW with it's purely volunteer-based team has an extensive waiting list of cats who desperately need help.

I am going to be completing the 3 peaks challenge in July in memory of my Bo. I will be climbing the 3 highest peaks in the UK in 3 days. The total walking distance is 23 miles (37km) and the total ascent is 3064 meters (10,052ft)

Mister Bojangles was a huge part of my life and I feel that doing this challenge is a fitting tribute in his memory.
