Hello muddy dog readers! I will be turning 3 at the start of March and this year I'd like to do something special to mark the occasion. This year I've decided to have a charity walk with as many mud lovers as I can find.
The idea for the charity walk came from my good friends Rocco and Archie, who are both Jack Russells. They've been having to look after their mum a lot lately because she has a condition called Cystic Fibrosis, which is one of the UK's most common life-threatening inherited diseases. It affects the internal organs, in particular the lungs and digestive system by clogging them with thick sticky mucus. This means Rocco and Archie's mum often struggles for breath and walking Rocco and Archie can be almost impossible at times. She is awaiting a new set of lungs through organ donation. (If you're not already registered to be an organ donor you can sign up by going to the Organ Donation website - www.organdonation.nhs.uk/ )
What I'd like to do is get as many of my friends together for a muddy charity walk on Sunday 24th February at 2.30pm. My mum will be passing a bucket around for all walkers to donate what they can afford. Proceeds to go to Cystic Fibrosis Trust who strive to support families affected by CF.
We will be meeting at the far end of the large gravel car park opposite Helston boating lake. The walk will be about 2 miles and will take us toward Porthleven through Penrose Woods, and loop back through Lower Nanslow to the carpark. It should take about 40minutes.
So please come down and get muddy with me for my birthday and help me raise some money for Cystic Fibrosis.
