Story

Cork comedian and proud Assisi Animal Sanctuary Ambassador Andrew Ryan is taking on an epic walking challenge to raise vital funds — and awareness — for Assisi Animal Sanctuary in the run up to Christmas!

Starting from the Assisi charity shop on Upper Newtownards Road, Belfast, at 10am on Tuesday 18th November, Andrew will trek through Newtownards, Holywood, and Bangor, stopping in at Assisi’s charity shops along the way.

The journey doesn’t end there — Andrew will continue walking right through the night in Ward Park, before setting off again on Wednesday 19th November for the final stretch to the Assisi Animal Sanctuary itself, where he’ll complete his incredible challenge.

Every step Andrew takes will help give animals in need a second chance at life and a loving forever home. So, whether you join him along the route, give him a cheer, or make a donation online, you’ll be helping to make a real difference this Christmas.❤️🐶🐱🐰
