This January, Newt, Luna and I are doing 100 miles for Maggie. For those who don’t know Maggie, she’s Newt’s sister and was 2 in August, owned and bred by my wonderful friend Victoria.
Sadly she was diagnosed with a bone tumour in her hind leg following a short period of lameness, it’s very unusual for a dog her age to get this and Maggie is such an amazing and special little dog who had just started to get her first wins in working/field trials. A few weeks ago she had her leg amputated but sadly a surgical infection has meant huge complications but, after a week, spent back at Dick White’s referral with further operations and wound care she is finally well enough to come home. She was insured for £7k but the complications have pushed the bill way over this and she really needs to have a course of chemotherapy too. So Victoria is doing a walk 100 miles for Maggie Challenge in January to raise funds to cover the costs of the extra vet fees and to get her the further treatment she needs, all the dogs (Tully, Izzy, Rua, Luna & Newt) and I are joining her in her fundraising efforts. The go fund me page will be live soon, which I will share in case anyone is able to donate at all.
Newt & Luna started on New Years Day with a wet & muddy walk; 4.58 km (2.85 miles). Today Izzy joined Luna & Newt on a shorter walk 2.2km. Tully & Rua will add to the total after my coffee break.
