Holly & Chloe's Kilt Walk for Medical Detection Dogs
On the 26th April me & Chloe will be doing the Kilt Walk, walking 14 miles to raise money in aid of Medical Detection Dogs.
This charity trains dogs to use their amazing sense of smell in the detection, recognition and diagnosis of human diseases and medical conditions.
- Dogs have been trained to recognise & quickly detect deadly diseases like cancer in the early stages, giving people a better chance at beating the disease.
A great movie representing this is A Dog's Journey (2019)
- Some dogs alert owners when they are in danger of a medical issue related with their disease.
- Dogs of people with Diabetes help by alerting when blood sugar levels are getting dangerously low. They can also detect changes in people with Addison's disease, Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (PoTS), and more.
- It's not just diseases that they can help with. Some people have extreme allergies, like a nut allergy, and their dogs can tell them if food or packaging has traces of nuts that could trigger a reaction.
Medical Detection Dogs help so many people & I hope I can raise money for it
Thank you!
