Five year old Annalise aims to walk 80 miles during the month of October to help raise vital funds for a charity very close to her family’s hearts - 8 Below Husky Rescue.

In February 2021, Annalise, then aged four, from Barnham, completed a 50 mile challenge raising over £1,400 for 8 Below Husky Rescue and this time she aims to go bigger and better.

Below Husky Rescue has a list of dogs waiting to be taken in and rehomed and post-Covid that list just keeps on growing.

Annalise’s mum, Kelly Goldsmith, said: “Having already adopted Blizzard and Diesel, we have recently fostered the lovely Echo as a small way of helping the charity and Annalise would like to do more to support the charity and help save more beautiful huskies by getting them into loving and caring homes.

“Annalise has already clocked up over 30 miles, with just under 50 miles to go. So far, she has raised an amazing £255.

“As her parents, we are incredibly proud of Annalise and her determination. She absolutely adores her husky dogs and really wants to do what she can to help support dogs in need of rescue support.
