In September 2016, Dawn and Chris undertook a 50 mile trek over the Carpathian Mountains in the Transylvania region of Romania in order to raise money for the Libearty Bear Sanctuary in Zarnesti, Romania.
This sanctuary is home to over 70 bears, all of whom have been rescued from inhumane conditions - bears kept in tiny rusted cages in bars and restaurants to entertain customers, bears kept in illegal zoos, dancing bears and so on. Many of these bears have had their teeth and/or claws removed and all of them are too old or frail to survive back in the wild. The sanctuary provides food, medical aid and an environment as close to their own habitat as possible.
We are hoping to visit Romania and the sanctuary again soon and will be setting up a new Just Giving page for anyone who would like to contribute to this amazing cause. Please watch this page for further details.
