Method of fundraising
Walk 500 miles with my walker-trolley (Angus)Why did you decide to fundraise?
Because an appointment at the clinic inspired me.
The Clinic was founded by the generosity and altruism of an individual and I think it is fitting that people’s generosity & altruism help to maintain it.

How did you raise the money?
By stopping to chat to people walking their dogs, then (with the owner’s permission) taking a photo of their dog & putting daily updates, progress reports and dog photos on my Just Giving page (my doggy blog). Then I had cards printed with my JustGiving details, and when dog-walkers are interested by or receptive to what I’m doing, I give them my card and let them know that I will upload the photo of their dog onto my JustGiving page before the end of the day.
Fundraising wisdom:
Do something that you enjoy; your enthusiasm should then become infectious (viral)!!
