Hello!

I’m Emily, and on Saturday, March 18^th I’ll be taking on my first ever 50k Ultra Marathon-- the Chuckanut 50k.

I’ll be pushing myself to the limit as I run 31 miles through the forest trails of Washington’s Chuckanut Mountains for a good cause – to support PETA’s Global Compassion Fund.

This important fund directly supports groups who are saving animal lives in countries around the world. Crises like the recent earthquakes in Syria and Turkey and the war in Ukraine have left many frightened animals abandoned, injured, and at risk of starvation. Support from PETA’s Global Compassion Fund, is powering the work of rescuers who are determined to save as many animals as possible, helping them provide food and urgent veterinary care when it’s needed most.

I hope you’ll join me in my mission to support PETA’s Global Compassion Fund.

Thank you, wish me luck in my training!

With gratitude,

Emily
