Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

When I read the story of how this charity started, the challenges they faced and the obstacles they overcame, it really pulled at my heart strings.

I have spent the last three years fundraising and volunteering for Animal SOS and have recently returned from a 2-week trip to Sri Lanka to visit the sanctuary to see at first-hand what is involved.

After rescuing a dog in a paddy field who had been hit by a vehicle and left to die it was evident that an x-ray machine and scanner would have enabled them to ascertain his injuries immediately. A hydraulic operating table and an anaesthetic machine would make future surgeries a lot easier and quicker so some of the funds raised will go towards these pieces of equipment.

Funds are also desperately needed to build a cat sanctuary as more and more cats and kittens are being dumped at the sanctuary gates and at present are kept in a small kitchen area, the only safe-haven away from the dogs.

Please, please dig deep and sponsor me to take part in this challenge from 6-8th July 2012 and raise much-needed funds for this amazing charity to enable them to carry on their life-saving work...........
