The 26 Goat Run - To be held monthly throughout lockdown
Buttercups, like all animal sanctuaries, are suffering financially because of the Corona-19 virus. At this time of the year, we should have many visitors to the sanctuary supporting us with donations. To help the charity through these difficult times, the staff, with the help of our goats, have come up with the idea of a sponsored goat run.
Inspired by the 2.6 Challenge, we will be doing a 26 Goat Run, at the sanctuary, 26th June. 26 of our goats will be doing their normal daily run between the yard and the top field. They are hoping to get sponsors, to raise the urgent funds needed for their happy home!
The participants are shown below! We ask for a minimum donation of £5 to sponsor a participating goat; please comment the name of your chosen goat in the message section. Once you have done this, you will be entered into a raffle. If you sponsor the fastest goat, the first five winners pulled out the hat will receive a Walking with Goats Experiences for 2!
