I am delighted to announce that Rupert's Fund is now at a grand total of £1,205!!!
That means we are just slightly shy of sponsoring an incredible SEVEN OLDER DOGS to be MRI scanned for the all-important syringomyelia genome research. i*no: And donations keep coming in, with new projects for fundraising only just beginning.
Thanks to all who have so generously supported this project so far -- every donation, large or small, is gratefully received and adds up to being able to accomplish the BIG goal. We have had several very generous donors, too, Penny says: thank you so much for choosing this project to support. :flwr:
I'd like to suggest a friendly fundraising challenge to the UK Cavalier Club to match our current funding, and help select seven member dogs for the same project, which will benefit all cavalier breeders worldwide! If both Rupert's Fund and the CKCS Club set a goal of raising funds for 10 older cavaliers each, think how far it would progress research! Both for the EBVs, which really value scan and heart info from the exact same older dogs -- especially the potential for older clear dogs -- and the genome research, which will result in gBVs, or very accurate versions of the EBVs.
Will the Club accept the fundraising challenge? icon_nwunsure
