Hi there! My name is Bentley I am 10 years old. I have a love for dogs and I don't think any dog should be abandoned or unloved.

The Dogs Trust does an amazing job providing training and support to families thinking of giving up their dogs and rescuing and rehoming dogs that have been abandoned and left without a loving home.

So I made the decision that I wanted to support this amazing charity and do some form of sponsored activity to help raise money and help the Dogs Trust support all the dogs they can that are in need.

I'm excited to share that I'll be doing a sponsored swim in Bude Sea Pool during my holiday. I've been training hard during my swimming lessons and feel up for the challenge. Bude sea pool is located on Summerleaze Beach and is surveyed as being 91m long. I have set myself the challenge of swimming 50 lengths of this pool reaching a staggering distance of 4,550 metres. I Will Be Swimming This Over 2 Weeks. That's a challenge for a 10-year-old.

I have set myself a target of raising £250 which is going straight to the dog's trust via this Just Giving page.

Help me reach this target of even better help me raise even more for this good cause.

In the meantime, thank you so much to those who have sponsored and supported me. The support and encouragement is really motivating me to achieve my goal.
