11 Miles to Remember

Honour the animals who served. Help those who still need us today.

8 million horses, donkeys and mules died during the First World War. Their sacrifice changed history. This Remembrance Week you can help change an animal's future. 

Why your miles matter

Today the battlefields look different, but the need for compassion remains the same.

Around the world, 100 million horses, donkeys and mules work in some of the harshest environments.

By taking part in 11 Miles to Remember, you're turning remembrance into action. Every mile you move and every pound you raise will help Brooke provide veterinary care, welfare support and protection to working horses, donkeys and mules who need it most.

Together, we can honour the animals who served in the past and help build a better future for those still working alongside people today.
