Ian Stark Supports Supa Dog Get Fit Challenge

TOP event rider Ian Stark is supporting a nationwide initiative to help get the nation and their pets fit and active.

The initiative launched by Burgess Supafeeds, one of his longtime sponsors, aims to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Relief through sponsored dog walks.

Said Ian: "We read in the national press every day that we are a growing nation, growing in numbers, but also growing in size and weight.

"The Supa Dog Get Fit Challenge is a great way to encourage everyone to take more exercise, go for a daily walk, with their dog, and help them to get fit as well.

"The team at Burgess Supa Dog recognise the health problems associated with obesity and by simply getting more active by walking, we can improve our fitness levels.

"We are also aware that our lifestyles affect not only ourselves but also our pets, with many dogs walked for less time each day.
