Running 4 Paws: How YOU Can Help!
Lee Harker is a Paws volunteer and passionate dog lover who this summer will be undertaking an incredible fundraising challenge, named Running 4 Paws.
On 1 August 2026 he will set off to run 4,500km in 126 days.
Running an astonishing 42km every single day he will depart from Skagen in northern Denmark, finishing in Tarifa in southern Spain. Along the way he will cross six countries: Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, France and Spain.
He is doing this to raise money for PAWS Xaló, and in particular the new Paws4ever project.
This project will focus on giving elderly dogs a loving, safe, and comfortable place to spend their final years. Whether they’ve been abandoned, surrendered, or just need a home in their last chapter, they’ll get the care and love they deserve.
