We raised £6,000 today with the newfoundlands!!
I belong to a water rescue group that does displays at regatta's and harbours etc. The money we raise goes to the childrens hospice local to us.
Today we were doing a sponsered rescue.
Volunteers had to get sponsership to be rescued in the local marina at portishead by one of the trained newfoundlands.
I think we had 50 rescues happen today, the dogs worked really hard and we raised £6,000.
We also had a "guess the weight" of one of our bigger newfs, we were donated a mobile phone for the winner. The weight guess's ranged from 4st - 16st
, i think he was actually around the 13st mark.
My son billy did it as well and got £102.00
Long day but well worth it, jess and bianca are zonked out as they have had hundreds of cuddles by passing public which they love.
