Virtual Walk to Everest Base Camp Fund Raiser
Donation protected
Hi everyone, as most of you know I have a love of dogs & a love of hiking large mountains. I've been volunteering on & off at local animal shelters for years now & its a relentess journey of rescuing, looking after, caring for & rehoming our abandoned & abused dogs & cats (through no fault of their own) & almost all of this hard work is done by volunteers.
Currently at the local dog shelter I am volunteering at, we are in desperate need of so many things. Over 400 dogs & cats are currently being cared for in temporary accomodation & to be honest the transition has been a nightmare for everyone involved.
Whilst the shelter is at the provisional site ( which the dogs will be here for a while ) We would really value some more temporary kennels.
They are ideal to temporary house incoming dogs awaiting medical & behavioural evaluation before being placed into the main compound.
These versatile kennels are around Euros780 each.
So I have given myself a challenge to raise enough funds to buy 2 of these kennels to help the dogs that get abandoned daily.
So whats the challenge.....?? Well, as most of you know I have a love of dogs & hiking large mountains, so i thought I would combine the two & do a sponsored virtual walk with the dogs to Everest Base Camp. ( I did this trek back in 2016 & its one of my best experiences to date )
The actual trek to EBC is approx 62kms one way from Lukla to EBC & takes takes 12 days, 8 days up & 4 days back down.
So what I will be doing.......Is walking the 62kms whilst volunteering walking the dogs & I will complete this 62kms in 14 days with my four legged friends & giving them much needed time out of the shelter environment.
So what would I like you to do......? Well I would love you to ''sponsor'' me on my ''virtual dog walk to EBC". Any amount will help & my goal is to raise enough to buy at least 2 of the kennels. ( right now some of the dogs do not even have a roof over their heads, so you can see how desperate we are for more of these temporary kennels )
During the ''sponsored virtual dog walk to EBC"" I will post photos & actual kms on my FB & IG pages & stories so you can join in & see us clocking up the kilometers.
Thanks so much for supporting me & for any donations you can send to help out our abandoned dogs.
