Hi all,
I am not a natural runner but I've been training for over 2 months to run my second 5K ever. I couldn't resist this one, which benefits animals at the shelter where we adopted our two sweet kitties, Pickles and Penelope. They came to us after being found on the street suffering from pneumonia and almost dying before they were rescued and nursed back to health by the shelter and a wonderful foster family. We are so grateful to the Somerset Shelter for giving them such a great start; our kitties truly bring us so much happiness every day!
The funds raised will go to the Cupid Fund, a special fund dedicated to helping shelter animals that are in need of extraordinary medical treatment. The fund provides care for any animal needing more than the the basics which include spay/neuter and vaccines. All medical tests, blood work, specialist consults, surgery, treatment of illnesses, etc. are paid for by donations to FOSRAS Cupid Fund. Through your generous support of the Cupid Fund, we are able to provide such veterinary care prior to placing them into loving and caring homes.
My personal goal is to raise $250 for this fund and to finish the race in as close to a 10 minute pace as I can. My son will be joining me, although he'll probably leave me in the dust! If you could donate even $5 or $10 we would both be very appreciative!
Thank you so very much and wish me luck!
Bonnie
