*Running For Rescue*
Rescue is always full of its ups and downs, emotionally and financially but somehow we manage to get ourselves through the most difficult patches. But, over the last few months we have taken a severe hammering financially as it just seems to be one cruelty, neglected case after another with all requiring extensive veterinary care.
And despite the vets we work with giving us rescue rates and taking care of us as much they can, our vet bills are huge with so many animals needing extra veterinary work than the usual routine. We were and are struggling.
For some of you Katie is not be a stranger. A young lady reared throughout her childhood at our sanctuary and who, despite now living in the UK, remains a loyal and devoted member of our GalwaySPCA Team. She is an amazing girl who tries her very best to help us raise funds and ran a half marathon, in our name, earlier this year.
Katie is off again, with another half marathon fundraiser, to help us through this latest difficult patch by hopefully raising some much needed funds after continually seeing cruelty case after cruelty case come through our doors and feeling helpless to stop the flow. But, this time, she is not running alone. This time Katie will have her adopted Galway SPCA Patterdale, Maggie, by her side as they plough along the tracks and hills of Devon for 21.1 kilometres in their first ever Cani Cross Half Marathon Race together.
Katie and Maggie have been training together for a couple of months and Maggie is absolutely loving her new hobby of Canicross, alongside her mum. Not bad for a little girl who still carries many scars and issues from her previous life yet is ready to fly the flag for all Rescue Dogs, proving they can and do adapt given the chance.
Katie and Maggies half Marathon is November 1st and we will be cheering them on every step of the way. We are so grateful to Katie and Maggie for putting in this huge effort in the hope of raising funds for our animals now and going forward.
Please, please, if you can, get behind this Fundraiser and donate what you can as it would mean so much not just to our two runners, not just to us, it would mean more chances, more futures for our animals. We have always been so grateful to you for your wonderful support over the years and we hope you can help us now.
