Raising money for Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice can be as easy as a dog walk in the park.

Bosses at the Farnham hospice have urged dog owners and their mutts to walk 100k this September.

Money raised through the September Walkies Challenge will help provide the hospital to continue the vital supportive and end-of-life care it offers to patients and families.

Walkers can spread some puppy love for the good cause by applying for a fundraising pack which includes a sponsorship form.

Sponsored walkers who hit the £15 target will receive a branded bandana from Phyllis Tuckwell so fundraisers and their dogs can continue walkies in style.

Every penny raised will help provide much-needed medical and nursing care, therapies, counselling, social work advice and practical support for those who really need it.
