Help Ryan Raise Funds For Desperate Dogs of Azerbaijan

Hi, my name is Debbie Davies and I want to tell you about a remarkable boy called Ryan.

Ryan is nearly 16 years old and he was born with parts of his brain missing which has culminated in a range of disabilities.

Ryan cannot walk or stand unaided and he has global developmental delay.

Despite all of this, Ryan loves being outside and active and most of all he adores all dogs.

Ryan’s auntie very kindly supports our animal rescue which is called Desperate Dogs of Azerbaijan (DDA) .The rescue was founded by my dear friend, Rosie Turner, after she moved from her native Canada to Azerbaijan and was immediately appalled by the way stray dogs and cats are treated.

We currently care for 300 cats and dogs at our main shelter but we are being evicted to make way for a school to be built and we must leave by the end of August otherwise our animals will be homeless.

We have found a site for a new shelter but it needs to be fit for purpose and we still need to raise a further £1,300 to complete the work.

When Ryan heard about our plight he immediately wanted to help and as he loves being out on his specially adapted trike we suggested maybe a sponsored bike ride. As a result, Ryan will cycle 6 miles from Worthing to Shoreham on 8th August, weather permitting.

We are incredibly grateful to Ryan for wanting to help keep our precious dogs and cats safe and would ask everyone to share this fundraiser as much as possible.

Every penny really does count, please show Ryan as much support as possible, he truly deserves it
