Walking the Essex Way

Lauren and Martin will be walking the Essex Way, an 82 mile footpath through the Essex countryside on 23rd June 2016, to raise money for AA Dog Rescue in Latchingdon. We will be tackling this route over a four day period, walking around 20 miles per day, whilst carrying the food and equipment we will need to wild camp along the route. We are hoping to raise enough funds to help care for those dogs looking for a new home, and to help make their time in the rescue centre as comfortable and happy as possible.

AA Dog Rescue is based in Latchingdon, Essex, and relies on donations to help save dogs that have unfortunately, due to poor care, found their way in to council pounds where they have 7 days to be claimed or go in to rescue. To give an idea of how much funding is needed, their approximate costs per dog are:

• £300 per month for food
• £50 neutering
• £6 worming
• £5 flea treatment
• £2 dog bowl
• £10 treats/toys per month
• £15-50 dog collar and lead
• Plus additional veterinary care
