Help Erin raise money

For participating in 2025 DICK'S Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon Weekend

My Story…

On May 4, I will be running the Pittsburgh Back Half Marathon in support of Animal Friends, a Pittsburgh based animal rescue organization.

Those who know me know that my cat Pip is one of the most important parts of my life. Pip was found on the streets of Pittsburgh and made her way to me through organizations like Animal Friends. Through fundraising for them, I’m hoping to give more animals and people a bond like I have with Pip!

Description

Thank you for being a big part of the Animal Friends mission.

Animal Friends envisions a humane and compassionate future for every animal. They aim to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome animals in crisis, ensure healthy pets through education, advocacy, and affordable services, and inspire a community that celebrates and nurtures the animal-human bond. They are driven by the core values of being solution-driven, resourceful, compassionate, and committed to integrity and excellence. Your efforts help to support our many programs.

  1. Rescue and Rehabilitation: We rescue animals in crisis and provide necessary medical care and rehabilitation to prepare them for adoption.
  2. Adoption Services: We help rehome animals by matching them with loving families.
  3. Education and Advocacy: We offer educational programs and advocate for animal welfare to ensure healthy pets and responsible pet ownership.
  4. Affordable Services: We provide affordable veterinary services through their Animal Wellness Center.
  5. Community Engagement: We inspire and nurture the animal-human bond through various community events and programs.
