The Thin Blue Paw Foundation with Victoria Hills

I'm raising money in aid of Thin Blue Paw Foundation in memory of my much loved and desperately missed daughter, Victoria, by walking 1,000 miles this year with my dogs Sassy and Mabel.

More information about Thin Blue Paw Foundation: When a police dog retires in the United Kingdom, they receive no financial support from the police force they served with. Unable to get insurance, the Thin Blue Paw Foundation provides much needed support covering vet and rehabilitation bills.

Victoria was an amazing saxophonist and singer, and was studying Music and Sound Production at Bournemouth University when she contracted an incredibly rare infection, Lemierre's Syndrome, as a secondary complication to glandular fever. She was just 20 years old.

She loved her music and dogs, so I wanted to raise money for a charity she would have loved, and having worked for the police myself for over a decade, as both a special constable and a communications controller (dispatcher), this seemed like the perfect charity combination!

Please help me in supporting these dogs who have risked their lives to keep us safe.
