Kent couple to swim for charity
Kent couple, Neil and Anna Carroll, from Tonbridge, Kent will
be swimming a whopping 100 lengths for a local animal charity
and are looking for sponsors.
Anna (35) and Neil (33) will be swimming in aid of Medway-based
CavyRescue – the UK’s first dedicated rodent rescue - on Saturday
October 7th at Tonbridge Swimming Pool.
For the couple, who regularly foster small furries and do boot
fairs for various animal charities, this is their hardest fund
raising effort yet! Anna says: "I've never swum so far
- in fact the furthest I've ever swum is 60 lengths and that
was 6 years ago - so hopefully I won't drown! But it is in a
very good cause and it would be great if we can help raise some
much needed funds for CavyRescue."
The charity - which has rescued, rehabiltated and rehomed over
2,600 'small furries' since its formation in 1999 - is desperately
fund-raising to get the money needed to help them continue their
work with small furries such as guinea pigs, rabbit, hamsters
and rats, and to build a small animal hospital and rescue centre.
If you would like to sponsor Neil and Anna 's swim, please
send a cheque made payable to CavyRescue to: PO Box 532, Rochester,
Kent, ME1 9AT (please write “Swim” on the back of the cheque)
or you can donate online at: www.cavyrescue.co.uk
