MARATHON ACCOMPLISHED! FUNDRAISING GOAL ACCOMPLISHED!

 

I just wanted to update everyone……………………..as some of you know I tore a tendon in my foot 3 weeks ago during training so I was pretty nervous about running the marathon injured. By the grace of God and all the “good vibes” sent my way Saturday morning, I was able to cross the finish line! It took me 40 minutes longer than last year when I was healthy but this year was not about time, instead it was about the journey for the animals.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH to all those that donated so generously to Our Companions to help me reach my fundraising goal. I can’t thank you enough for your support of this important organization and all that they do for the animals.

I have attached a picture of me at the finish with my finisher medal.

Thank you so very much!

The time is near! My marathon for the animals of OC is exactly one week away! To those that have already donated, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

 

For those who may have lost my letter in your inbox, I’m resending my initial request hoping this will remind you about Our Companions and the wonderful organization that it is. My goal is to raise $3,000 for the animals and right now I’m at  $2495. Any donation, no matter how small, helps!

 

Hope you have a fantastic weekend!

Dear Family & Friends-

 

Last October 2012, I decided to run my first marathon. I ran it to prove to myself that I could do it. I’ve decided to run another marathon but this time for a cause greater than myself. I have decided to combine two of my passions in life, running and animals, to help the animals of Our Companions.

 

Our Companions Animal Rescue is a Connecticut based organization that is committed to doing the right thing for animals, regardless of the cost or challenge. What this means is that they go to extraordinary lengths to help animals in need today, while also working to prevent animals from becoming homeless tomorrow by addressing the root causes of pet homelessness.”

 

I volunteer once a week at Our Companions Animal Sanctuary in Ashford, CT, caring for and loving the animals in the cottage. There are two more cottages being built on the sanctuary grounds so it is exciting times because it means we will be able to save more animals!

 

My marathon is the Hartford Marathon October 12th, 2013, at 8:00am. I’m trying to raise $3,000 for this wonderful organization that I believe in and that I am extremely proud to say that I am a part of in their mission to save animals.

If you are uncomfortable making an on-line donation you can also write a check and send it directly to Our Companions (34 Sanrico Dr., Manchester, CT 06042). Please make sure to write on the check that it is for “Wendy’s 26.2 for the Animals of OC” so we can keep track of my donations. You can also send it to me and I will make sure OC gets it (14 Westwood St. Manchester, CT 06040), please make all checks payable to “Our Companions.”

 


 

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

THE ANIMALS THANK YOU, TOO!
