Two pupils from Bratton Primary School are holding an event to raise money for the charity Alaskan Malamute Rescue UK.
Alfie Waker , 9, and his brother Charlie, 5, will be holding a tea and cake sale along with a raffle and ‘guess the name of the large soft toy sled dog’ on Thursday 22nd May at Bratton Pavilion between 2.00pm and 5.00pm.
A large number of dogs that have been abandoned over the Easter period in the most appalling conditions, are now in the care of Alaskan Malamute Rescue and are on a long road of rehabilitation.
Alfie and Charlie’s mother Hayley Waker said, “Alfie has a huge passion for animals but this has really hit a nerve as we own three dogs ourselves, two being Alaskan malamutes. Both the boys totally adore them and neither of them can understand why anyone would treat any animal in this way. They are hoping to raise a few pounds to get these poor dogs back to full health and eventually into happy, loving homes.”
Alfie has been fundraising since he was just 6 years of age for a charity called HorseWorld. During this time he has undertaken a 12 mile cycle, an abseil and last year, a 35 mile cycle. Alfie was also nominated for an Animal Hero award last year due to his fundraising commitment under the category ‘young animal enthusiast’. With his family he attended a red carpet event at the Langham Hotel in London where Alfie rubbed shoulders with many celebrities.
