100 Dogs + 12 Hours + 33 Miles = £1,000 for Dogs Trust
James Hewitt as managed to raise over £1,000 already.
Sadberge dog lover James Hewitt has raised over £1,000 yesterday for his local Dogs Trust rehoming centre by going for the ultimate walkies.

Sadberge dog lover James Hewitt has raised over £1,000 yesterday for his local Dogs Trust rehoming centre by going for the ultimate walkies.

In just 12 hours he took an incredible 107 resident rescue dogs for a one-on-one walk around the rehoming centre’s fields, covering a distance 53km (33 miles) in just one day.
 
26 year old James, who works as a Veterinary Nurse Assistant at Dogs Trust Darlington, was presented with a cheque for £500 by Councillor Jim Ruck, Mayor of Darlington, who rehomed a Lurcher from the centre three years ago.
 
James Hewitt says: ''My sponsored walk was a great challenge but I had lots of fun and even the occasional bouts of rain didn't put me off my stride. Thanks to the generous people who supported my challenge I have already raised over £1000 for Dogs Trust!”
 
It is still possible to make a donation to the challenge by visiting www.justgiving.com/James-Hewitt.
