Iʼm raising £300 to help OEH Foundation/Sakima's Sanctuary continue in their incredible rescue/rehabilitation work

Don't have time to donate right now?

Story

I am fortunate enough to be part of an exclusive club of dog owners who have adopted from this incredible foundation - Potter, a Siberian Husky who was rescued from Macedonia and came into my life just over two years ago, originally as an emergency foster, but spectacularly failed at it!!
Simply can't imagine my life without this tissue/cuddle monster. Can safely say without a shadow of doubt, he rescued me more than I rescued him ❤️

OEH Foundation/ Sakima's Sanctuary is a non-profit rehabilation and rescue kennels just outside Pressall. Who offer space to other dog rescues as well as their own and do such an incredible job with their time, patience and most importantly love.

Some of the back stories to the poor four legged souls that are lucky enough to end up there from Europe and the UK is just simply heartbreaking and have been brought to tears quite a few times, especially those of my very own monster. Seeing the regular updates on how they are doing and finding their forever home always brings a smile to my face

This amazing foundation is always looking for ways to raise funds and thought I might be able to give back whilst doing this ultra challenge. (For those who don't know, an ultra is classed as anything longer than a marathon distance). This is my biggest challenge to date, but nothing compared to what all the dogs have been through before coming to OEH

    Caroline and I have broken the Ultra (any distance over a marathon) into three sections - 1st : Blackpool Tower to Fleetwood Ferry Terminal 15km/9.32 miles in 2 hours, 2nd : Knott End Ferry Terminal to Old Glasson Dock 24.5km/15.22 miles in 4 hours and 3rd : Old Glasson Dock to Lancaster Castle 10km/6.21 miles in 2 hours. As we had already done the 1st and 3rd sections in our earlier runs and are now tapering (reducing the intensity and distance you run in the final 4 weeks leading upto the event), we stuck to the plan and walked it yesterday

    Last week saw me complete my longest distance ever since starting the Couch to 5K last July. Not even storm Lillian 🌬🌫🌧🌬🌊 could stop me and Caroline from completing our training target 🎯. Massive thanks to Hazel who rode her bike and kept us both going
