Calling all canine companions! This March, MS-UK are inviting you to join #TeamPaws and take part in our pawesome Big Purple Dog Walk. Wherever you are in the country, now is the pawfect time for you and your best four-legged friend to stay active and make every walk matter to help people affected by multiple sclerosis (MS).
During MS-UK’s loneliness and isolation research, we noticed that our furry friends play a big part in the MS Community, whether that be keeping their owner’s company, being the reason someone may go outside each day, or simply by just being there!
So, whether your pooch is a pampered Poodle, a delicate Dachshund or a loving Labrador, all hounds are welcome to put their paws to the test and help to raise vital funds for MS-UK. Get your FREE and exclusive dog bandana with your first donation for your pooch to wear with pride. When you reach your target of £100, your dog will receive their very own rosette and certificate for their achievements.
See how Ralph & Chris joined our Big Purple Dog Walk without having a pooch of their own!
Does your neighbour or family member have a dog that could join you for The Big Purple Dog Walk?
All set? Get your collars on and grab your leads…let’s go walkies for MS!
A member of our fundraising team will be in contact with you. Your fundraising page was automatically created on sign-up and the link to this was emailed to you so get sharing! Once you receive your first donation, a welcome pack and bandana for your pup will be sent out!
Please contact fundraising@ms-uk.org or call 01206 226500 where a member of the fundraising team can assist. You can also take a look here Help for fundraisers | Enthuse Help Centre
Yes, we have t-shirts, collection boxes, banners – please contact fundraising@ms-uk.org or call 01206 226500 if you would like any of these to support your fundraising.
Many of our fundraisers like to use Strava and track their mileage through either the app on a smartphone or through a smartwatch.
This is your challenge, so it doesn’t necessarily have to be a walking one. We welcome your ideas and its important you pick something that’s right for you!
We want you to enjoy raising awareness and funds to help MS-UK. Do what you can, keep your sponsors up to date and let us know if you think you might not complete your challenge so we can advise further.
Your target is £100, and we’d love if it you wanted to keep going once you’ve reached this!
