Raise funds for Rescue Dogs in Need while keeping fit: The return of 60 Miles in May
Jerry Green Dog Rescue is thrilled to announce the much-anticipated return of the digital fundraising challenge, 60 Miles in May. The Charity is once again asking its supporters, old and new, to move their way to raise vital funds for rescue dogs in need, offering an exciting opportunity to make a difference while staying active.
Following the success of the 60 Miles in May challenge in 2025, where participants raised £8,083, the Charity is launching the challenge earlier this year – creating the opportunity for even more participants to come together to raise vital funds for Jerry Green Dog Rescue.
Participants have freedom in how they choose to complete the 60 miles, whether that’s walking, wheeling, running, cycling, or even swimming. This exciting challenge adapts to personal fitness styles and preferences, making it achievable for everyone, from fitness enthusiasts to casual movers. From as little as two miles per day, every movement will directly support the work Jerry Green Dog Rescue does to find safe and loving homes for dogs in need.
Registration for the challenge is quick, simple, and accessible nationwide. Participants can easily register online, set up a fundraising page, and share with friends and family to help raise funds for Jerry Green Dog Rescue’s important cause. And don’t worry, you won’t be alone in this challenge. The Charity has created a dedicated Facebook page where participants and supporters can celebrate success and encourage each other along the journey, transforming the challenge from a personal achievement into a collective effort to make a lasting difference.
Early-bird registration for the challenge is now open, with participants receiving a brand-new Jerry Green Dog Rescue fridge magnet for signing up between 1st - 15th February.
To celebrate milestone achievements throughout the challenge, enticing fundraising rewards have been designed to motivate participants. A tracker T-shirt will be awarded to all participants who raise £30, which is perfect for tracking progress throughout the month. A sleek Jerry Green Dog Rescue 60 Miles in May water bottle will be earned once £250 has been raised, and all participants will receive an exclusive medal and certificate of appreciation upon completion of the challenge.
The funds raised from 60 Miles in May will support Jerry Green Dog Rescue’s work towards its vision of a world where every dog has a good life, and a safe, loving home. Therefore, the Charity encourages anyone who wants to challenge themselves while making an impact to take part.
Nancy Grimshaw, Head of Fundraising and Marketing at Jerry Green Dog Rescue emphasises the benefits of the challenge: “60 Miles in May is about more than physical movement, it’s about making a positive impact on your own mental well-being while directly supporting rescue dogs in need. Every mile that participants complete could change a dog’s life”.
This challenge has been designed with inclusivity in mind, welcoming all fitness levels and ages. Whether participants choose to embark on this journey individually, with family and friends, or as part of a corporate team, this initiative offers a unique opportunity to make a difference for rescue dogs, one mile at a time.
