Dogs Trust Evesham is encouraging dog-lovers to put their best foot, or paw forward this October to support dogs in need by taking on a brand-new fundraising challenge.
The 62 Miles in Dogtober campaign will help the UK’s largest dog welfare charity continue to fund its rehoming services for dogs.
Fundraisers can walk, jog, cycle or swim 62 miles throughout the month to complete in their own way.
Participants are asked to complete just two miles a day for the 31 days of October, or 62 miles in total.
Ellie Shelford, community fundraising manager, said: “The 62 miles in Dogtober challenge is a fun and flexible way to support Dogs Trust dogs, as well as making sure you get out and about, with or without a four-legged friend.
“You can complete your 62 miles as quickly or as gradually as you like at any location you fancy, from the beach to the back garden!
“If your canine companion fancies joining in, that’s fantastic, but no worries if not, all you need is a love of dogs and a desire to help those who have found themselves without a family of their own.”
Every participant who signs up will receive a free Dogs Trust t-shirt and an activity card to help track their progress.
By raising a target of £150, fundraisers will also earn an exclusive Dogs Trust medal as a thank you for their incredible efforts, but there is no minimum target.
Any donation big or small, helps Dogs Trust continue their vital work, rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming dogs across the UK.
Dogs Trust is currently caring for hundreds of dogs across its 21 rehoming centres, all patiently waiting for their forever homes.
Fundraising efforts like this help provide daily essentials, training, enrichment, and veterinary care for every dog while they wait.
