Our Story

original-A85FDCFD-141E-45F8-AACF-ECF053CD0C0E

How It Started

On September 1, 2020, our courageous little Imogen, just 23 months old, faced the heartbreaking diagnosis of a brain tumour.

Since then, she has undergone 16 brain surgeries, spent over 12 weeks in the hospital, and received 40 rounds of proton beam therapy.

These challenges have left her with disabilities and visual impairment, but despite it all, she continues to fight with incredible resilience.

Imogen’s connection with animals has brought her comfort and a sense of normalcy during challenging times, making this therapy an invaluable resource for her.

Imogen is our inspiration and a driving force behind the creation of Inspiring Animal Therapy CIC.
