Thank you so much to everyone who has contributed to The Alzheimer's Society and The Donkey Sanctuary, Mum would be so touched. Thank you also for all of your kind words and thoughts. We have been moved by the amount of support we have received x

We would like to convey our thanks to everyone for donating in memory of Anita Thurston to aid us in our work at The Donkey Sanctuary. We hope it will bring some comfort that the memory of Anita will live on through these donations. This support today helps us to look after donkeys in our care at sanctuaries across the UK and Europe and reach out to donkeys in desperate need around the world. On behalf of donkeys everywhere, thank you. Our thoughts are with you.

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Anita. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.
