99k for Canines April 2026

I’m taking part in the 99K For Canines with Dogs Trust Ireland!

I’m taking part in the 99K For Canines with Dogs Trust Ireland!

I'll be taking on a challenge of walking 99 kilometres in a month to help stray and abandoned dogs and puppies. Every euro raised gives the gift of a second chance to our furry friends in Dogs Trust Ireland's care - thank you for your support!

The aim of Dogs Trust Ireland is to give stray and abandoned dogs a second chance at a brighter future with responsible, caring new owners. Since opening their Rehoming Centre in 2009, they have rescued and rehomed over 22,000 dogs. They rely on public support to fund their work and they are entirely reliant on the generosity of amazing people to continue our life-saving work. Every single donation raised provides each dog that comes into their care with nutritious food, veterinary treatment, a microchip, vaccinations and most importantly, love and cuddles from their canine carers and a forever home.

Thank you for helping me honor Maruse’s life

Saturday 18th Apr
I’m taking part in this walk to raise funds for dogs in shelters, in memory of my little Yorkshire Terrier, Maruse.
Maruse came into my life when she was just a small puppy who hadn’t experienced much love or care. From the moment she came home with me, I made a promise that she would never feel neglected again — and she never did. For almost 14 years, she was my best friend, my comfort, my shadow, and a huge part of my family.
She had the sweetest and funniest personality — full of love, a little bit sassy, and always by my side. Whether she was waiting at the window for me, following me from room to room, or making me laugh with her little habits, she filled my life with joy every single day.
Recently, I had to say goodbye to her, and it has been one of the hardest things I’ve ever gone through. But I know how lucky I was to give her a life full of love, safety, and care.
That’s why I’m doing this walk.
In her memory, I want to help other dogs who may not yet have the same chance — dogs who are still waiting for a safe home, love, and someone to choose them.
Every donation, no matter how small, will help provide food, care, and support for dogs in need.
Thank you for helping me honor Maruse’s life and for helping other dogs get the love they deserve 🤍🐾
