A DOG lover is hosting a sponsored walk to raise money for two animal rescue centres.

Beth Gray, from Colchester, will host the walk around Abbey Fields in Colchester on January 27.

She is asking all dog walkers and their pets to join her and to walk around the fields as many times as possible to raise funds for the rescue centres, one of which is in Colchester. Beth has her own dog, a Staffie called Charlie who she has had for ten weeks.

She said he has helped her overcome her anxiety and inspired her to organise this challenge.

The event will start at 1pm.
