Walk 30 miles in June. One mile for every year Forever Hounds Trust has been giving hounds a second chance.
For 30 years, Forever Hounds Trust has been giving sighthounds a second chance. Dogs that came off racetracks. Dogs that were abandoned. Dogs that arrived frightened, thin, and unsure what a home even felt like. Thousands of them, one at a time, transformed by patient care into loved family companions.
This June, we're asking you to walk with us. Thirty miles across the whole of June - one mile for every year we've been doing this work. Walk to the shops. Walk the dog. Walk at your own pace, in your own time, wherever you are in the country. Every step is a tribute to 30 years of second chances.
Sign up free on JustGiving. Set yourself a £150 fundraising target. Share your page. Then in July, when we celebrate our 30th anniversary, you'll know you were part of making it happen.
