A dog show will be held this weekend to raise awareness about organ donation.
The fundraising event will take place on Sunday, September 8 at Spider Park on Keble Road in Bicester.
The show has been organised by Caroline Sofroniou from Bicester, who has hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) alongside Danon Disease, an extremely rare heart condition that has been passed down throughout her family.

Nearly all of her family members that were diagnosed have passed away, but due to organ donation Ms Sofroniou and her 10-year-old son, Jayden-Sean, are the only survivors.

It will cost £3 per dog per class, or £5 for three classes, with all money raised going to Great Ormond Street Hospital to help fund a mechanical heart.
