Chicago Marathon for MFA

Thanks!

I ran my first marathon last year and have been addicted ever since. This year, I'm very excited to make the Chicago Marathon my goal race. Not only is it my first time to visit the city, but Chicago is also home to Mercy For Animals (MFA), an animal rights organization I'm proud to have been a supporter of for almost a year.

MFA is a non-profit animal advocacy organization whose mission is to end cruelty and defend the rights of all animals - primarily focusing on farmed-animals issues, as they account for the majority of animal cruelty in the United States.

One of MFA's most effective tools in raising awareness of the realities behind factory farms is the undercover investigation. These investigations go behind closed doors of America's factory farms to show the real abuse that goes on every day in the industry. Take a look at the following video for a closer look at their investigations:

My goal for 10/10/10 is to raise $1000 to take to Chicago and give to MFA to help them continue their mission in showing compassion for animals that otherwise would be forgotten. Please help me by donating whatever you can, and thanks in advance so much for your support!

Please visit my blog for updates on my training among other things, or friend me on Facebook. Your comments and support are appreciated as I work towards my goal.

Thanks again!
