Pooches Prepare to Put their Best Paw Forward for
Cancer Research UK<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Dogs and their owners are currently
preparing for the popular annual sponsored dog walk Best Paw Forward,
which will be taking place on Sunday 19 May 2013 in aid of Cancer Research UK.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Now in its fourth year, the event
attracts up to 100 dogs and families, who come together to follow a beautiful
four mile route along the banks of the River Thames, starting and finishing at
leafy Barnes Green in SW London. Best Paw Forward has proved to be an
incredibly successful and enjoyable fundraising initiative, having raised a
staggering £110,000 for the cancer charity to date.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Cancer Research UK volunteer Abi
Hayhoe, who is organising this year’s walk, said, “It’s amazing what we can
achieve with the help of our four-legged friends. Everyone involved has so much
fun and it’s extremely rewarding to know that we’re helping to support Cancer
Research UK in the battle against cancer.” <o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
All money raised will go towards
supporting Cancer Research UK’s vital work into the prevention, diagnosis and
treatment of all types of cancer. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Natalie Brownless, local fundraiser for
Cancer Research UK in South West London, said, “This is a great event for dog
lovers and their canine friends alike. The money raised makes a huge
difference, funding vital cancer research which will help bring forward the day
when all cancers are cured.”<o:p></o:p>
