I’m taking part in the 99k for Canines challenge with Dogs Trust!

I’m making a positive start to 2026 by joining the Dogs Trust 99k for Canines challenge! I will be walking 99km throughout the month of February to raise vital funds for the dogs in their care.

The aim of Dogs Trust is to give stray and abandoned dogs a second chance at a brighter future with responsible, caring new owners.

Last year, they cared for 11,707 dogs across the UK and Ireland, rehomed 9,914 dogs, and helped deliver nearly one million meals to dogs in need through Fareshare foodbanks.

Your support helps them continue this vital work, especially as the cost of living crisis adds increased pressures for dog owners. The work of Dogs Trust is only possible with donations like yours. If you’re able to make a small contribution, I know they’d be incredibly grateful – and so would the dogs!

Thank you.

My Updates

1 week completed

Our 1st week of 99k for canines is completed! Despite the bad weather we've done 23km so far and Sammy is making improvements in her loose lead walking which is essential for her Therapy Dog Assessment that we are planning to do soon. 
76km to go!

The night before

So here we are, 31st of January and we're only one sleep away from our first walk that will count towards our 99k.
I've already decided that only the steps we do together with Sammy as a team will count towards the 99k goal and we are even hoping to exceed that.
We have a bit of a personal challenge added and that is to teach Sammy to walk in a loose lead in these 99k. Fingers crossed, we'll see at least some improvement!

There is no one specific reason why ive decided to start this challenge,  it seems to be a combination of having quite a tough autumn in general and on top of that loosing two family dogs within 13 months. I've just decided it's time for some positivity - and helping animals has always been something I wanted to do - as many times - animals helped me.

Despite the weather forecast not looking it's best, we are determined to have a strong start tomorrow.  Wish us luck and we'll be updating our progress with some pictures and more stories!
