Being More Bear for Bear and Helen

Share our page

We're taking part on the Mayday Mile Challenge to support RNLI volunteers

Friends,
We wanted to participate in the Mayday mile event together with Bear this year.

Unfortunately he can’t walk with us anymore, but he will certainly support us from his heavenly place.

We want to walk as far as our paws will carry us.
Our goal is to raise £1/mile for the charity . 

Do you want to support us? Do you want to be part of the team? 
Let’s show the world what it means to be 'Be more Bear'.
