I have reached and surpassed my $500 goal and am at $576 raised for PAWS Chicago! Huge thanks to Don, Shaun, and Nicole for the donations that put me past the mark!
I am starting to hit some serious weekly milage in training. My long runs are up to 20mi. and in August, there's no escape from the heat. I toss on that PAWS singlet and hit the Mile High City though and your support is quite a motivator!
I'm hoping a few of you are still interested in donating though. 100% of your donations go to help this no-kill shelter and quite literally you dollars are saving lives. "Since PAWS Chicago’s founding, the number of homeless pets killed annually in Chicago has fallen nearly 70% — from more than 42,000 pets killed in 1997 to less than 14,000 in 2013. By continuing these efforts, Chicago should be a No Kill community in the next five years."
If you can spare a few bucks to help this organization out, it is certainly appreciated! Spreading the word is also incredibly helpful.
