Hi, I'm Chris!

On Sunday, April 26, I’ll be taking on my first-ever Marathon- the 2026 TCS London Marathon.

I’ll be pushing myself to the limit as I run 26.2 miles at the London Marathon – to support PETA’s Community Animal Project (CAP).

As an honorable member of PETA’s Rescue Team, I’ve had the privilege of assisting CAP in the field, including helping animals and their guardians in the aftermath of natural disasters. I’ve seen firsthand the compassion, grit, and relentless dedication this team brings to every case, and I’m proud to run in their name.

PETA's Rescue Team (CAP) has improved the lives of thousands of animals in Virginia and North Carolina. CAP rescues local animals directly—crawling through sewers, poking through junkyards, climbing trees, dodging cars, and coaxing terrified strays to safety. They go into the very poorest of neighborhoods to deliver food, doghouses, and bedding to neglected animals who have never known a kind word or touch.

They also offer spaying and neutering surgeries for animals who would otherwise reproduce and bring many more animals into a life of misery.

CAP also transport animals to local veterinarians, provide water and food to dogs with empty bowls, loosen collars that have grown too tight, and supply tangle-free running lines for dogs hopelessly wrapped in chains. They rescue injured and dying animals and capture skittish strays who have been given up on by other agencies. CAP staffers also counsel animal guardians on proper care, such as always allowing companion animals to live inside the house with their families, and help people make that transition whenever possible.

And they don’t give up. PETA fieldworkers return to check on the animals and replace old bedding, check the doghouses, and make sure that the animals have food and water. They continue to educate—politely—and urge reluctant humans to be real companions to their animals.

This isn’t just a marathon for me — it’s a mission. Every mile is for the animals. I’ve stood beside CAP team members in the field, and I’ve seen the difference we can make together.

I hope you’ll join me in my mission to support PETA's Community Animal Project.
