- Training for: Oakland Running Festival
- Training in: san francisco, cA
- Fundraising goal: $1,000
I would like to invite everyone to be an angel by supporting me in my very first effort ever to run a 1/2 marathon in support of the ethical treatment of animals. Animals are dependent on us for help. They cannot speak for themselves. I am asking my family and friends to give for their sakes—the animals—not for your own interests.
By asking you to support my training efforts and PETA's vital work, I am including you in something wonderful. Here is just one example of what my fund raising efforts can do: Just this month PETA went public with the details from an undercover investigation in Texas. Please read about the investigation and the 26,000 animals (you read that right) here, and please share with everyone you know! Remember: All the money raised for the PETA Pack will go to Peta's Investigations and Rescue Fund. The hero investigator who got the footage…the staff who watched hours of graphic video to get the most powerful scenes for the court case…the team in Texas RIGHT NOW, helping these poor animals…you are helping to raise money for them and their work. Thank you so much.
Please dear friends and family, give what you can, $5, 10, 20, or more and help me reach my goal of $1000.00. For our animals who have no voice, every day is a Haiti, Katrina, or any other natural or man made disaster. Their cries can't be heard unless we as sentient human beings go out and find them and end their pain.For the animals.

P.S. The Oakland Marathon will take place on March 28, 2010. I have 12 weeks of training. In addition, I will be completing 6 weeks of boxing boot camp. No doubt my hard work will all pay off in the end!
