Great Weekend For Fundraising.....



Thanks to everyone who has supported us this weekend, either by arranging a fundraising event or contributing to one. Thanks to the girls for taking the tombola to Seghill Dog Show on Saturday, seems like it was a fun day. Thanks to the staff at Jollyes in Blyth for having us, and thanks to Joan for lasting out pretty much a full day on her own and doubling KFC's coffee takings for the day.

Thursday last week saw us get a visit from some new friends at the kennels (maybes more on that in a few days.) On Saturday night those same new friends turned a house warming garden party into a SHAK Fundraiser. Thanks to everyone who was there, it was a good night, and especially thanks to Jacqui who raised a whopping £115.88!

Sunday was a busy day too. Derek had another fantastic day down at Seaton Sluice, not only making us money, but spreading the word.

In fact one of his customers Jules also completed the Great North Run for us on Sunday. Thats her above in her self designed SHAK running vest and with her dog Millie who claimed the medal. An old friend of mine Alan also did the run for us despite being old and past it! Thank you both for going through such physical torture!
When I started SHAK I raised myself. To see so many people doing so many things over one weekend really meant a lot. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH.
