Virtual dog show to help the Australians

Just cross-posting this from another list with permission:

I am sure that you have heard about the dreadful wild fires that have hit Victoria, several kennels have been wiped out. The Alaskan Malamute fraternity is mourning the loss of an entire family Mum, Dad, kids and all of the dogs. There are many more sad stories at present the death toll is 108 and rising. The areas that were hit were very popular with dog, cat and horse breeders, and they did not stand a chance. Very sad, have shed lots of tears in the last couple of days. I believe that DogsVictoria are setting up a Paypal method of entry, I wondered whether you could pass this on in the UK for me. I will understand if it is too difficult.
If anyone wants to contact me to find out more please give them my email address, and I will see if I can answer the questions for them.
Thanks,
