I’m Running for the Animals!

This year, I’m lacing up my sneakers and hitting the pavement to support the incredible animals at the Animal Protective Foundation and I need your help!

Every step I take in this 5K is for the dogs waiting patiently for a family, the cats learning to trust again, and the countless animals who arrive scared, sick, or in need of a second chance. The Animal Protective Foundation provides shelter, medical care, nourishment, and love to animals who have nowhere else to go. They don’t just house animals. They heal them. They advocate for them. They find them homes.

Your donation will directly support:
• lifesaving veterinary care
• daily food and enrichment
• safe, warm shelter
• adoption services that connect pets with loving families

No amount is too small. Truly. Even a small gift helps provide vaccines, meals, toys, or a cozy bed for an animal in need.

If you’re not able to give, sharing this page means the world to me too. The more people who see it, the more animals we can help together.

Thank you for supporting me, and more importantly, for supporting the animals who deserve safety, love, and a fresh start. Let’s make every mile matter!
