Help Us Raise Funds for Samstail – A Lifeline for Struggling Dog Rescues. I’m taking on the ultimate challenge—a 3-day, 104-mile RatRace—to raise money for underfunded and understaffed dog rescues across England and Wales. Every mile I run represents a rescue dog in need—waiting for food, shelter, medical care, and, most importantly, a loving home. Many small dog rescues struggle to stay afloat, often running on passion alone, without the resources they desperately need. Samstail is here to change that. Your donation can help: -Provide emergency vet care for rescue dogs -Fund food, shelter, and supplies for struggling rescues -Support small, volunteer-led rescues that save dogs from neglect and abuse The Challenge is on, and any help is appreciated! Race Date: 26-28 April 2025 Distance: 104 miles over 3 days Even a small donation can make a big impact. If you can’t donate, please share this campaign—every share spreads awareness and helps save more lives!

One day during a military deployment, a moment was taken to feed a couple of stray dogs. Watching them eat sparked a realization—so many dogs in the world were in desperate need of care and love. That moment stayed in mind and became the inspiration to adopt a dog upon returning home. That decision led to Samantha, a rescue who quickly became a constant source of comfort and joy. Her bright eyes, wagging tail, and unwavering companionship made every day better, no matter the circumstances. On the next military deployment, thoughts often drifted back to Samantha. Memories of her happy welcome, her excitement for walks, and her quiet presence during tough times brought both comfort and longing. She became a reminder of the countless other dogs still waiting for a chance to experience that kind of love and connection. Now, with Samstail’s platform, those moments with the stray dogs and the bond with Samantha come full circle. What started as a simple act of kindness has grown into a mission to change the lives of many more dogs in need. It’s a journey rooted in compassion, driven by the belief that every dog deserves a chance to be loved like Samantha and those unforgettable strays.
