I have always been a supporter of the RSPCA and wanted to help in a bigger way to promote this fantastic Charity, I have been very fortunate in my career as have many of the people that got involved and thought it a great idea to use our faces and voices to help bring awareness to something we are all so passionate about. I wanted to make a donation to the RSPCA, and so I decided to fund a 6 min video including some of Australia's celebrities to help with their christmas campaign " guardian Angels" and reach out to people to help.
On Wednesday 27th October we ventured out to the Yagoona Shelter to put my idea into action: My main reason for doing this video, is to show people that you don't just have to have the pressure of adopting, that is not the only way you can help, you can foster, donate or lend a helping hand by walking the animals. Alot of people tend to turn a blind eye to the shelter, as it's easy to get upset at the amount of animals needing homes, but by making this video and showing the all the different breads of animals and amazing job that the RSPCA does to look after and cater for these animal, will hopefully bring awareness for people to be involved or at least think of adopting rather then buying from farmed pet stores and puppy mills.
With a project like this you always need help and I was thrilled with the amazing Australian celebrites that jumped on board to help share this message, Maude Garrett, Lizzy Lovette, Erin McNaught, Erika Heynatz, Renee Bargh, Dean Gladstone, Andrew Reid, Laura C'sortan, Jonathan Moran, Airlie Walsh and April Penngilly. Here are some of the photos from the day.
