My Mission

I wanted to run a marathon because it was a “bucket list” item—but it quickly became something bigger!

Animals have always had a special place in my heart, and I realized I could turn my training into a real impact. So, every mile I run is dedicated to helping animals in need. I have 3 rescue animals of my own, and it breaks my heart knowing how many animals are sitting in shelters waiting for a home. I’m determined to help support organizations that devote their time, financials, and hearts into helping rescue animals.

 

As I train for this marathon, I keep thinking about the animals who never asked to be abandoned, neglected, abused or forgotten. Animals who wait in shelters, who have been hurt by humans, or who simply need someone to care.

 

When my legs get tired, I remind myself:
They don’t get to quit.
They don’t get to choose a better situation.
But I do get to run for them.

 

So, every mile I run is dedicated to animals in need.
Every step is a promise that they are not invisible.
Every donation is a second chance—for warmth, safety, healing, and love.

 

If you’ve ever loved an animal, hugged your pet a little tighter, or felt your heart melt at a wagging tail or gentle purr or a horse muzzle graze you… this run is for you too!

 

Every donation fuels my training and supports animals in need. Whether it’s $1 per mile or simply sharing this message, you’re part of the journey.
Let’s make these miles matter.
