Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I will be doing a 5k walk every day for 30 days starting on the 27th June to raise money for Humane Society International.

Unfortunately across Asia right now many dogs and cats are being held victim to the utterly disgraceful annual Yulin dog and cat meat festival. These animals are being taken from the streets, their homes/backyards and more upsettingly being sold by their owners and are being trafficked into slaughterhouses where they are horrifically abused, tortured and ultimately killed and sold for meat. It is truly barbaric and horrifying what these innocent souls have to endure.

Thankfully the HSI are a wonderful charity who has branches across the globe and are knuckling down on stopping this annual abuse (and much more). They work with local law enforcement across China, South Korea, Indonesia, Vietnam and other countries to stop dog traffickers and close down slaughterhouse operations. They encourage local governments to introduce dog meat bans whilst petitioning relentlessly for a nationwide ban and getting the point across that dogs and cats are friends and not food. Along with a lot of other work that they do to stop this abuse, they have rescued, saved and rehomed thousands of animals every year and must continue to do so with our help. They do this hard work year round as unfortunately dog and cat meat is sold every day but is more rife during the summer months, mainly bought by the older generation as they believe it is good for their health.

If you are an animal lover like myself and cannot bare the thought of this horror continuing then please consider donating to this cause. Every single penny will go straight to the charity and whatever I am able to raise I will be matching and donating myself.

Thank you for taking the time to read and thank you so much if you are able to donate.

Love and kindness to all, always 💗
