Hi all and thank you for taking your time to read this. I have been a cat lover since birth and have always had cats growing up with my mum. In our house we currently have 30 our oldest being 17 and the youngest being less than a month old. I am challenging myself to the Alps Trek next September, I am doing this to support the Southend branch of cats protection, so that we can continue the work we do for hundreds of cats and kittens every year. I do hope you consider donating to this fantastic charity and help me to reach my goal! As I go through the fundraising journey and the trek itself I hold in my heart all the cats I have had the pleasure of knowing and thank them all for making me the person I am today. I am walking especially for one very special cat Tiny Tim (pictured) who touched so many peoples lives and the years he spent with us are ones we will never forget. Without the help of cats protection he wouldn’t have survived at all. Thank you all from myself and on behalf of all the cats that will benefit from the money.
