Stay informed on current bids on the Willows Facebook page: www.facebook.com/pages/Willows-Animal-Sanctuary-Animal-Assisted-Therapy-Unit/322287425356?fref=ts
Jenny Gray of Willows said:
“We are absolutely delighted to have Brian May’s support. It is so very kind of Brian and we hope it will attract lots of bids!”
May contacted Willows following the involvement as a Patron of the sanctuary of his friend Paul Rodgers.
May commented on his support for Willows:
“I hope this trusty guitar will contribute to improving the life of these wonderful animals.”
May is not only known for his music but for his unflagging work across a number of charities and animal issues. He has recently lent his support against the proposed badger cull meant to help combat bovine TB. The controversial culls have met widespread criticism, not least from scientists and bovine TB experts.
