Thank you to those that came to support us at the A.I.D. Charity Fashion Show on Wednesday night 1st June. A big thank you to all the volunteers that took part and put in a lot of hard work, also Heartfmspain 96.1 Radio for the wonderful arrangement of music during the show and a thank you to the Marbella Design Academy http://www.designschool.com for their sponsorship on the night. We had a lovely selection of stalls. Over 100 people showed up to support A.I.D. on this lovely evening, which was held on the Spanish Patio at the Lauro Golf Restaurant Just outside Alhaurin el Grande. The models (all volunteers) did a fantastic job and really put themselves out to play the part whilst parading amongst all the guests, which were sitting around the Patio. The evening raised a total of 1065.00 euro with 100% going directly to the animals that we help in all different ways as well as the ones that come under our care.

Sponsored walk with dogs
A GREAT BIG THANK YOU to all that came today and contributed in their own way to the Animals In Distress (A.I.D.) 7 Km Sponsored Walk with Dogs around Monda village. We had 46 walkers and 48 dogs, which included 11 from our refuge and also some of the dogs we homed in the past came with their new owners, which was a delight to see them. We raised a fantastic 802 euro (some still to be collected) to help the animals we rescue. And also a big thank you to Roy from The Mortgage Service Group for being our guide on the walk.
See the Video before and after the walk

The walker’s entry will be 1 euro. This will be for a raffle prize at the end of the walk. Come and enjoy a walk with your dog and friends.
Please walk your dog on a lead, wear suitable shoes and bring a drink. You can still come for the walk even if you do not have a dog. Perhaps you may wish to walk a rescued dog from A.I.D. (Tel. 626 942 427 for this option)
ITENARY: Roy from The Mortgage Service Group will be the guide for the Sponsored Walk and we shall meet at 11.30am at the Monda Car Park where the weekly market is held. The walk will be nice and easy, we will leave the car park on foot, making our way out of Monda and we will take up the old roman road and cross the stream. We will then join the track with quite a flat walk for approx 2km then we will start a loop with a gradual climb where we will get some great views of Monda village. We will stop for refreshment and allow people to catch up and have their snacks/drink and water the dogs at a viewing place then work our way back to Monda. The whole walk will last approximately 1.5hrs and finish at a local bar by the fountain in Monda where the draw for the raffle will take place.
For a Sponsorship form contact: 626 942 427 or email: animalsindistress2007@yahoo.co.uk
Please collect as much Sponsorship as possible. Help support the animals
Disclaimer: Animals in Distress take no responsibility for anyone who might be injured on this charity walk – participants must bring their own refreshments and take responsibility for their animals – all dogs should be on a lead.
