Benzie was 17 when he passed away in January of 2025. About the same time that Niall was losing Alba. His memory has helped me through some dark times in my life, including a stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer diagnosis in May of that same year.

**I’m Fundraising for Tina’s Hospital and Dogs in Need**

I’m taking on this challenge to help build Tina’s Hospital, a safe haven for street dogs on the island of Koh Samui.

Tina was found living on a chain, having been used for breeding. Despite the suffering she had endured, Tina was gentle, loving, and full of life. She spent six precious months surrounded by care and kindness before passing away, but her beautiful nature inspired the dream of creating a hospital for dogs like her.

Tina’s Hospital aims to provide life-saving treatment, rehabilitation, and compassion to dogs who are sick, injured, abandoned, or in desperate need of help. The goal is to raise $1 million to make this dream a reality.

Happy Doggo's founder Niall is taking on an incredible challenge, running 5 kilometres every hour for 24 hours to help raise funds. I’m supporting this mission by completing my own fundraising challenge and helping bring Tina’s legacy to life.
