Dear Family and Friends,


We have just over a week to go until the big race! This past weekend, along with my running buddy, I ran a whopping 13.55 miles!!  I can't believe it myself.  I've been training hard since the beginning of January. I've battled a few of the standard running injuries (shin splints, bursitis) and feel like I have come out even stronger.  This has been an amazing experience.  I have met so many wonderful and compassionate people on my PETA Pack Team.  I would like to thank everyone, from the bottom of my heart, who has donated so far.  I had a goal of raising $1000 before the Oakland Half Marathon on March 28th.  I am ecstatic to say that I have reached my goal and am close to raising $1500 (just $53 to go)!

I am committed to raising as much as I possibly can on behalf of the abused, neglected animals with no hope other than PETA coming to their aid.  With your help, PETA's Investigations and Rescue Fund can reach more animals and make an even bigger difference.  This is why I decided to run the half marathon.  I hope my commitment and dedication will inspire you (and many others) to lend a hand.  

Making a donation to the PETA Pack is a way to speak out against violence and support kindness to animals.  PETA employees and volunteers work very hard everyday to investigate cruelty cases, spread awareness about animal exploitation, inspire a shift in attitude and lifestyle toward a more compassionate one and find animals who are suffering and lend them a loving hand.  This fund provides neglected backyard dogs with sturdy, PETA-built doghouses, ensures that hundreds of cruelty calls each week get investigated, enables PETA's undercover investigators to expose the cruelty that occurs behind closed doors and much more!

Today, I want to thank everyone who has supported me so far.  I am truly inspired by your generosity. I am truly humbled by all the wonderful people that have shown their support.  For those who haven't, I am asking for your support.  I have another week of training to go before the big race and it would mean the world to me if you would consider supporting me by making a donation to my fundraising page.
 
Please support me in my efforts to raise funds for PETA's Investigations and Rescue Fund to help those animals who can't speak for themselves.                       


If you're in the Bay Area, I would love to have you come out on race day.  Email me for more information!

On behalf of the animals, thank you from the bottom of my heart!
