Dear All,Firstly I would like to thank you all for taking the time to read this letter.
I hope you are all well and had a good weekend.
On Friday I asked for help for our foster puppy Spike and have been astounded with the responses. It has rekindled my faith in humanity and I thank you all for that. In the present day world that we live in it is not easy to ask people to hand over their hard earned money over to a cause that they have no direct control over.
From a financial perspective we were not prepared for the overwhelming responses and offers of help that we received and did not know what the best way would be for people to donate towards Spike's expenses.
We are not a registered charity and if we asked people to donate to a charity we could not guarantee that all donations would be attributed directly to Spike.
There has been an offer to pay for all Spike's immediate veterinary bills, an amazing and very generous offer indeed.
Spike is now booked in for his x-rays on Tuesday, at which point we will hopefully know exactly what we will need to do to give Spike the best future possible. We intend to do all that it takes to give him the quality of life that he deserves, for the rest of his life.
If you are happy to donate towards these costs, we would be extremely grateful. We have set up a PayPal account for Spike - spike@huskiesrunning.co.uk.
We have also set up a Facebook page for people to follow Spike's progress and will also share all the costs incurred in helping him, so you know exactly where your money is going.
Thank you kindly for any help and support you can offer.
I have a dream that one day Spike will run as a husky should run and one day we will run a marathon together. I was once told I would never run further than one mile and I have much less attitude and determination than a husky....
This will involve more than just veterinary treatment, there will be hydrotherapy sessions and special supplements and toys to keep him entertained on the days when he needs to "rest". He is a husky and huskies do not cope well with restricted exercise.
I am a dream chaser and this is one dream that I would like to catch...
Sandra xx
