Thanks for visiting our fundraising page!
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor us: The Greyhound Sanctuary gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
Please look at www.thegreyhoundsanctuary.org if you want more info on the charity we're running for. Jess and Felicity's mum does alot of work for them and the charity works tirelessly to rescue and rehabilitate greyhounds that otherwise would be destroyed, unfortunatley often inhumanely, starved, tortured or have their tattoed ears cut off so they cannot be traced back to their racer. Although it is a small charity, they rescue and rehome many greyhounds every year.
Ultimately, we're doing this to raise awareness of this charity and their cause. There are such a huge number of greyhounds rejected from racing every year; it is a massive problem and there are always greyhounds needing a home at any shelter you visit. Having a dog is a huge commitment but if you ever feel you could rehome a dog, please, please, please consider a greyhound. People wrongly assume greyhounds need lots of exercise - they don't! They make brilliant pets, they are real couch potatoes and are so gentle, warm and loving. We know Jess and Felicity's mum would happily talk to anyone interested in the dogs or the charity so get in touch with one of us, or look at their website, if you'd like any more information.
Anyway, we're running the 13 miles for this cause and would really appreciate it if you could spare a few quid to support us (and more importantly, so would the dogs!)
