Have you got a dog that loves a bit of exercise? Or do you have a friend with a dog that you can borrow for a morning? Now is the time to register for the RSPCA Million Paws Walk, which will be held on Sunday 19 May at 7th Brigade Park in Chermside.



This annual walk helps to raise much needed funds to support vital programs, services and campaigns undertaken by RSPCA Queensland, as well as looking after the animals in their care. On the day there will be two walk options, 1.5km and 4km, just so that those with little legs don't get too tired. Registrations open from 8:30am, and the walk begins at 10am, a sensible start time which allows for a sleep-in and a pre-walk wake-up coffee!

On completion of your walk, you can enjoy entertainment from celebrities, Damon Tune (singer) and kids band Red Rocket 3 or have your photo taken with one of the Broncos Team. For the little kids there will be a jumping castle and adults will enjoy the food stalls and coffee carts, dog agility demonstrations, the NOVA Street Team and exhibitor stalls. If you have the munchies after your walk, there will be a free BBQ waiting for you.



You can register for the walk Online , or wait and register on the day. The Park is located close to Chermside Shopping Centre, or you can park in the surrounding streets. There are a range of competitions on the day which you will need to register for when you arrive at the event. You should check the Digital Assets/Queensland/Brisbane on the day comps.jpg website for competition categories and times.

Early registration fees (online until 3pm, Fri 17 May) are $20 for adults, $10 for children or $40 for a family (2 adults, 2 children) and $12 for students/concessions. A registration on the day will cost $25 for adults, $12 for children or $60 for a family (2 adults, 2 children) and $15 for students/concessions. If you are a bit of a social butterfly you can even register as a team - so grab your friends from the local dog park and get fundraising.

If you don't have a dog or are unable to walk on the day, but you still want to support the RSPCA, you can create your own online Fundraising Page and ask friends and family to donate.



If you want to look good on the day, perhaps you could purchase fundraising merchandise specially created by the RSPCA for the event. You can choose from T-Shirts, Jackets, Caps, Dog Coats or Kerchiefs. You can find the full range on the RSPCA's website at their Online Shop . You can look smart on the day and be sure that your money will go towards a great cause.

Each year the RSPCA helps to care for 44,000 animals, 18,000 of which are dogs who are abandoned, mistreated and unloved. This is our chance to make a difference, so register to help on Sunday May 19.
