My fundraising page, kinda.

NYC Marathon



Thank you for visiting my super PAWesome fundraising page! (CLICK HERE to actually view it for realsies) Well, okay, it's a page and it has my picture on it with a lot of words. Maybe THAT isn't super PAWesome, but the paws behind the cause sure are.

So maybe it isn't incredibly impressive that I am running another marathon. You've heard me whine about all that training for years now. I assure you though, that when I am running for a reason, it makes the inspiration part of getting through mile 24 & 25 so much easier. Instead of praying to be hit by a bus to end my suffering, I concentrate on the reasons I need to keep my feet moving, reasons beyond myself. So, without further rambling... I dedicate my 8th marathon to my favorite charity and non-profit organization, the Humane Society of Eastern Carolina.

Within the walls of the HSEC, live the greatest and most deserving animals (and I work with some pretty awesome co-workers too). 70% of our animals are pulled from high-kill shelters to avoid euthanasia. We are saving lives EVERY day. In 2013, we saved and placed 387 animals into loving homes. This year, we will surpass that number by over 100 animals! Since we do not receive any government funding, nor are we associated in any way with the Humane Society of the United States, we survive solely off of fundraising and private donations. That is tough way to survive in 2014!

Please help me save more lives.
I will break it down for you:
$10 will cover the cost for us to microchip one animal
$20 will cover vaccinations for one cat or one dog
$50 covers the cost of one cat spay or neuter
$75 covers the cost of a dog spay or neuter
$120 covers the full price of a healthy dog, including vaccinations, flea and hearworm prevention, HW testing, Microchip and a spay or neuter.

Please sponsor me for my next great 26.2 mile adventure!

Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts.

Many thanks for your continued support and love -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
