If your dog has been hankering for a good walk, consider taking them to Bark for Life, a dog-centric version of the popular charity activity Relay for Life, which raises money for the Cancer Council.

Bark for Life seeks to recognise and support cancer survivors, patients and their human and dog carers, as well as to honour and remember loved ones lost to cancer, all while raising money to assist further research.

It’ll take place Sunday 9 October, and since it involves animals it’s shorter than a human Relay for Life, going from 10 in the morning until 2 in the afternoon. This makes it easier to join in, and help the team get closer to their fundraising goal. The idea is that someone from your team is walking at all times, so the more people you can find to join you, the merrier!

Human walkers without a dog are still welcome, and the event is also seeking volunteers to help out.
