Sarah Dyer is holding the event in Bexhill on May 12 to remember two-year-old Thomas Lawson, from Battle.

The youngster died in February 2017.

Just three months earlier, Thomas was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, a form of blood cancer.

Sarah, who is a friend of Thomas’ family members, said next month’s fundraiser will start at the Bexhill Sea Angling Club from 10.30am at the bottom of Galley Hill.

The dog walk will finish at the Polegrove where a fun dog show will take place, as well as other activities, in aid of three charities, namely Children with Cancer Fund, Raystede Centre for Animal Welfare, based in Lewes, and Macmillan Cancer Support.

A similar event in Bexhill last June raised more than £1,000 for Children with Cancer Fund.

Sarah said: “I must thank Rother Prints for donating my flyers and posters, as well as all the shops and businesses that have donated to my raffle.”
