Cavaliers
walk to record total
DOG LOVERS and their pets recently raised a record amount on
a sponsored dog walk and fun show, organised by Friends of the
Cavalier.
So successful was the day that £3,341.81 was raised, and
this has been donated to the ckcs Club’s Lub-Dub fund.
The organisers, Pam Lewis, Ros Loades, Eleanor Mancey and Janet
Waller (aka Friends of the CKCS), wish to thank everyone for
their participation and donations.
The money from this event now brings the total raised by the
ckcs Club’s Lub-Dub appeal up to the £17,000 mark
required to sponsor an MSc student to work on a research project
into heart disease in the breed.
The research will be undertaken by the Royal (Dick) School of
Veterinary Studies, Edinburgh, in collaboration with the University
College, Galway.
The project will undertake important research to find out why
heart cells that are important in maintaining healthy heart
valves fail, and to look to find the triggers which start the
disease process, with the hope that in time it will be possible
to prevent or reverse the disease.
Details about the Lub-Dub fund and the research project are
