Wildman & Bella 630 miles for Mountain Rescue Search Dogs England

On 12th September, Bella and I will be setting off to walk the entire 630-mile South West Coast Path, carrying everything we need with us. This isn't just about completing a long-distance hike – it's about raising money for Mountain Rescue Search Dogs England (MRSDE), an incredible charity whose volunteer search dogs and handlers help find vulnerable and missing people across the UK. Thankfully, I've never needed Mountain Rescue or a search dog team myself. But I spend a lot of time outdoors, especially in remote areas, and one day that could change. Knowing these volunteers are willing to drop everything to help complete strangers is something I have enormous respect for. I've set an initial fundraising target of £630 – £1 for every mile Bella and I will walk. I'd love to smash that target and raise even more to help support the training, equipment and ongoing work of these amazing search dog teams. Over the past months I've been building and testing lightweight kit, preparing Bella's equipment, and getting everything ready for this challenge. Every mile will be earned, and every donation, no matter how small, will help support a charity that could one day save someone's life. If you'd like to support Wildman & Bella on this adventure, please consider making a donation and following our progress. Thank you for your support – it really does mean a lot.
