Last month, Rach & I received a flyer in the mail introducing us to the idea of training with Team ASPCA. I know Rach has run with Team Challenge supporting the personal charity of Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA). She ran the Miami ING Half Marathon back in 2009 raising funds for CCFA.
Now it's my turn! NO! I'm not running... but coaching Rach so she can help all my friends at ASPCA.
ASPCA is the first humane society to be established in North America and is, today, one of the largest in the world!! It was founded by Henry Bergh all the way back in 1866, based on the belief that animals are entitled to kind and respectful treatment at the hands of humans, and must be protected under the law.
So to this day, ASPCA provides the following 3 important things to animals:
1. Caring for pet parents & pets
2. Positive outcomes for at-risk animals
3. Serving victims of animal cruelty.
Follow me on this blog, as I coach Rach to run the Chicago Half Marathon. I'll provide updates of her progress running, as well as, her ASPCA fundraising. Be sure to check out our ASPCA Fundraising Website! CLICK HERE.
