Here's a reminder about why we're raising money for these charities...
Motore Neurone Disease Association: This debilitating condition is what my Grandad (mum's dad) died of in 2005. This trek is partially in memory of him, and 25% of funds raised will go to helping people with the same disease and hopefully getting them the help they need. The MNDA provides support and assistance for those with motor neurones, like my Grandad, with his mobility scooter in the photo! Because his muscles no longer worked properly, the scooter allowed him to get around with ease and still join in with family outings, giving him some freedom back.
Lucas Helps Dogs of Sri Lanka: This amazing charity helps dogs and cats in the Hikkaduwa area of Sri Lanka. You can see their achievements in the photo! I'm teaming up with them to hold a pop-up spay, neuter, and treatment clinic in the Yala National Park area of Sri Lanka. Help for animals here is non-existent, so we're taking help to them and will sterilise and treat as many strays as money allows. The animals here are in horrific condition, and I can't wait to go back to help them.
Egypt Equine Aid: Miracle workers. Pictured is one rescue case, out of thousands, that EEA saved. This horse, named Fighter, was discarded in the rubbish alongside dead bodies of other horses. Wounded and malnourished from years of abuse and neglect, he was treated by EEA and is now making a good recovery. He'll never be abused again!
Shelter Friend - Ukraine.: Marina has helped thousands of animals in Ukraine, before and during the war. Dogs and cats who have been left behind, abused, hit by cars, caught in the crossfire, etc. have been taken to her to be helped. This one dog was left behind on the front line, with no chance of survival being left on a chain. Luckily, he was found, cared for by Marina, and is now living in his forever home in safety. She is the reason so many animals in Ukraine are safe.
