Thank you for checking this out.
What I am doing is simple, but not easy!
I am committing to go into the cold water of local rivers every day in February. That's 28 days straight, whatever the weather!
I am doing this to raise funds for two very worthy dog rescues here in Bulgaria and need your sponsorship. Please help me to help them!
Any money raised will be split equally between Maxime's Rescues in Daskot and Little Angels Rescue in Smolyan.
I recently lost my girl, Kia, who Candy at Little Angels Rescue transported to the UK for me back in 2012 and Shelby (my husky) was one of her rescues that made it into my home 6 years ago.
Maxime took in Janey, a Brittany Spaniel that appeared at my door and rehomed her in the UK. She also took in a young pitbull, Chance, that cannot be rehomed in the UK and that I helped to support financially for a while.
These ladies spend all their time, money and energy ensuring dogs have shelter, food and love. They cannot help them all but they do their best and are full to overflowing constantly. As one goes to a new home, another is found starving on the street or rescued from abuse.
It is not always sunshine and cuddles. They have to deal with more mess, heartache, and distress than many of us would know how to cope with.
Here's how I see this working - if you sponsor me for just say 1 Leva per dip (42p / 50 cents). If I do what I say I'll do, that equals 28 Leva for the month (just 14 Euros or 12GBP). If I fail I will donate double your contribution out of my own pocket.
I hope you will help me to help them to help more of our canine friends in the future.
