Alexandra, I am so sorry to hear about your health issues, However your approach on dealing with the situation is a inspiration to those with similer problems, Have you thought of creating a email adress book to promote your news and forth coming events and you could slip in attachment of your good self as an an a gesture of good to all of your friends and followers which may promote your activities in protecting care and protection of those creatures of the sick and needy in the animal world, Kepp up the good work

Followed Alexandra's career from the Champions. Even watch the re-runs on ITV3.
The work you do Alexandra is priceless. The animals are safe with your unconditional love for them.
It was with sadness that I learned of your ill health. I do not know the nature of your illness but I wish you a speedy recovery.

Hello Alexandra,
I wish to say to you and Jo, Hannah, Anne-Marie and all the other volunteers who work tirelessly at the sanctuary, what an excellent job you all do and what an amazing time myself and partner, Janet, had on the open days!
It was wonderful to be able to raise money through my caricatures for the sanctuary and meet so many people who are completely passionate in their love for all animals.The celebrities were so approachable and charming to meet and everyone seemed to have the very best of times. Really do hope this becomes an annual event as it will surely just get bigger and better.
All the very best,
Mark and Janet.

We very much look forward to your next open day.
Lots of love

Dear Alex,
We visited the Sanctuary's open day and it was a lovely day out. The price of entry, snacks, as well as all other items, was pitched just right and I am sure the opening will be a great success and hope that you will follow this with another open day. It is an ideal occasion for children. The volunteers were very friendly and informative and I am sure added to the success of the day.
I am your fan for Kuwait, I love you since the time I saw you in The Champions in 1968-1969 and really wish to visit your Sanctuary, what a great jop you have done!! , and that proves that you are a real champ :-) We, The Champions fans are very excited about your open day and for William Gaunt to be there also , wow, we really wish to see you together, but unfortunately we can watch from distance, everyone in his country, but we were thinking if you can take photos for you and william and for the benifit of the Sanctuary we can buy it from you and it will be great if you both sign it.
Thank you Alex
We love you

Hello Alexandra:
As a vegetarian and someone who does not view human life as necessarily more valuable than non-human life, I just wanted to tell you how much I admire all the efforts of you and your volunteers in offering a sanctuary for animals. I have been a big fan of yours for many years and it's quite clear that you're as beautiful inside as you are out - which is certainly saying something!
Thanks again, and keep up the great work.

What a beautiful and worthwhile site. Alexandra is still, even now, the most beautiful woman in this living world. Just watched The Champions: Desert Journey, where I believe Alex was only 20 years old. Amazing looking. I used to fancy Sandra Dee and Stella Stevens from that era but wow! I just found someone so breathtakingly beautiful.
Hi Alexandra
You really are a true Champion for the tireless work you do with these animals.Would love to come and visit your set up and of course to meet you.

Lovely site. I just decided to look you up as it was your article on FiV that prompted me not to give up hope on our two cats.
It is good to know you are still going strong and can continue without paid help. I only wish I lived nearer. Unfortunately I live in SW Scotland so too far away to contemplate re-homing anyone. Will keep in touch via the website.

Dear Alexandra,
That is great I could do donate through paypal for the bales of hay, I definitely will have a go at it in the next couple of weeks.
Through your websites, blogs and books world wide, and communcations with you over the past couple of years, you have given me a better understanding of animals and pets health and opened my eyes to many things I was not aware of and I am sure many people
who visit your sites and fans also feel that way too, and you cannot put a price on that.
The experience and knowledge that you share, you cannot put a price on.
A small donation is just a drop in a bucket to say thank you for all that you do
and the animals you are able to save and rehome
and much more....
Many kind regards
Drama Queen.

I have just finished reading Alexandra\'s wonderful autobiography, \"Beware Dobermanns, Donkeys & Ducks\" and can thoroughly recommend it. It is written in the same intelligent, vivid, free flowing style as Alexandra\'s blogs and it paints a picture of an amazing, generous and caring woman, as beautiful on the inside and she is to look at. I have made a donation via the shop. Please help if you can.
