Description

Hello Everyone!

Please join me in the Furry Friends Charity 5k run/walk during the month of October. This is a virtual race so it can be done anytime during the month of October.

October is a special month to celebrate our pets and furry friends. All proceeds earned from this race will go to Plaza Pet Clinic located in Tucson, AZ. I specifically chose this veterinary clinic because it is small business owned by Doctor Ann Campbell. She has her own charity fund called Annies Animal Fund, here is a little more information about it from her website "Annie’s Animal Fund is a charity founded by Dr. Ann Campbell. The charity provides financial assistance for owners with pets who need veterinary care, but don’t have the financial means to obtain it. Often animals are put down or suffer needlessly because their owners cannot afford expensive surgery or medical treatment. These owners are put in a position to make the difficult choice to put an animal down or neglect medical needs because of the costs involved. Dr. Campbell believes that when making the right choice for your pet’s health, money should not be the main factor. Through fundraisers, generous donations from the community, and volunteered time from the Plaza Pet Clinic staff and other professionals in the field, the financial obstacle becomes less of a issue. 

This charity run is a surprise for Dr. Campbell for being such a loving person towards all her furry clients.  I want to help make her holiday special with a donation for all her hard work, love and compassion for her fur babies.
