Hi everyone,
This year I am participating in the PETA Pack and am training to run a 1/2 marathon in March. The idea of even running a mile is daunting for me, so you may ask, why is Katie doing this?
The answer is simple, all of the funds that are raised in support of me running this year will go to support PETA's Cruelty Investigations. In the last year since I've started working for PETA, we have released behind the scenes footage of Ringling Brothers beating elephants to perform in the circus, the diseased and abused cattle that supply Land O' Lakes dairy, the filthy conditions at Brookstone Frog-O-Sphere suppliers, vivisection labs at the University of Utah where they use shelter animals as test subjects and more.
Each investigation that comes out helps people realize that it is impossible to ignore that suffering of animals and whether it be by boycotting the circus, going vegan or passing on the information to friends and family, we are able to make a difference.
Please support me as I embark on this monumental(for me!) run and and support PETA in their amazing work to show the public exactly what happens to animals that are used for food, entertainment, science and clothing.
To help motivate me all donations will be collected once I have finished the race, so if I don't make it, you can choose to not donate.
Thank you!
