Who remembers beautiful little Wriggles who arrived in January with her back legs paralysed?
We made the decision to give Wriggles every fighting chance to get back on her legs in the hope that one day, in the not to distant future, Wriggles would not just walk again but run, play and live a fulfilled life.
She had surgery at the end of January at Vet Specialist Ireland. Surgery is often the easy part. It's the months of care and physio that come after it that take time, dedication and patience. Her surgery cost €5370. A huge amount to a small rescue and charity like our but Wriggles deserved a chance. Two weeks ago our Kennel Managers daughter Katie, who grew up at the sanctuary and now lives in the UK, contacted us as she wanted to help us find the cost of Wriggles surgery and had an idea.
Knowing that Wriggles was now facing the biggest challenge of her young life in learning to walk again, also knowing the challenges we face as a rescue, day in day out, emotionally, physically and financially, Katie was now going to face her own challenge for Wriggles cause. Giving herself just a month for training, Katie will run the Reading half marathon on Sunday 23rd March for Wriggles and her vet bill.
Her words of "Run, so Wriggles can Walk" are her motivation and we are so very grateful and proud of her. Katie has set up a Go Fund Me https://gofund.me/13f4f2f1 and it would mean so much to Katie, Wriggles and all of us at Galway SPCA if you could please help by donating whatever you can. Every euro helps, every euro shows us the kindness and empathy we know exists in a world that is so often shrouded in animal cruelty and neglect.
Please show your support for Katie so we can continue to support Wriggles on her journey. We will be cheering her on every step of the way, just as we will with Wriggles.
