North Derbyshire set to go mutts for Ashgate Hospicecare’s Woofs and Wellies event
On Sunday 12th March 2017, Chesterfield-based Ashgate Hospicecare’s sponsored dog walking event, Woofs and Wellies, returns for another year of tail-wagging fun.
The walk, which is kindly sponsored by Dunston Lodge Dog Boarding & Grooming, will set off from Ashgate Hospicecare at 10am and will take participants around the beautiful Linacre Reservoirs.
Beth Cole, Events Assistant at Ashgate Hospicecare, said:-
“Here at the hospice we know how important pets are to our patients, especially their dogs. We really want local people to all come together on the 12th, make friends and reach our goal of 150 wagging tails at Woofs and Wellies. It’s such an enjoyable day and I can’t wait to see everyone there raising money for their local hospice.”
Studio 1 Photography will be donating a pet portrait voucher worth £14.99 including a desktop print to everyone that takes part in the event this year. There will be stalls to purchase products for your pet, refreshments as well as a chance to take on a small agility course with your dog.
Laura Harrison, whose dad was cared for at Ashgate Hospicecare, said:-
“I don’t know where we would have been without Ashgate – it probably would have been a nightmare. We couldn’t have done the last few weeks without the hospice which is why we’re fundraising for them as much as we can. A team of our close friends and family took part in the ‘Woofs and Wellies’ event last year. It’s such an amazing event.”
