Nadia Colbourne

By taking part in Walk for Rescue I have raised enough for a care package for:

6 dogs

A care package includes all the essentials a dog needs, including a comfy bed to sleep in and a bowl for their favourite food, creating a welcoming space when they arrive at Battersea.

My Activity Tracking

303
kms

My target 150 kms

Please help me support Battersea

I’m taking part in Walk for Rescue, Battersea's dog walking challenge. Throughout the month of October, I will be covering either 30km, 60km or 90km with my dog by my side. 

Battersea will always be there for every dog and cat. Battersea takes dogs and cats in, gives them the expert care they need and finds them new homes that are just right for them. They help pet owners make informed choices, provide training advice, and campaign for changes in the law. And they help other rescue centres and charities at home and abroad because they want to be here for every dog and cat, wherever they are, for as long as they need Battersea.

Thank you so much for your support.

Selfie - it is all about timing

Friday 11th Oct
Have you tried taking a selfie with a high energy adolescent pup when one of your hands is broken? That's how it looks - ha ha

Smudge walks for charity - 90 km in the first week

Tuesday 8th Oct
Sometimes we have to walk in the dark. With the red illuminated collar and my torch. I have only one functioning hand so it is not easy, but we are chuffed that we did already just over half of the miles we committed to

Evening swim - unwelcome biathlon

Wednesday 2nd Oct
Additional challenge for me with only one hand working - wash the smelly and dirty Smudge who doesn’t agree

Woodland at night can be a bit scary.
