My Story…

I’m excited to share that I’ve signed up for the Pittsburgh Marathon, benefiting Animal Friends, an organization dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming animals in crisis. They also provide education, advocacy, and affordable services to ensure every animal and their human companions thrive.

As an owner of 3 rescue dogs that came from the streets, I know how important the mission is of each and every Animal Rescue, and that is why I am fundraising.

The story of my two dogs is great, and I want others to experience what has happened to me. Pickles (formerly named Sunny) came from a Sunoco station in Missouri, and Bonesy (formerly Brooklyn) was left tied to a tree to fend for himself in St. Croix.

Without Animal rescues, these incredible animals might not be enjoying the life they have today. They are why I am running and why I ask you to donate to help other needy animals.

Your support means so much to me and to the animals whose lives we can change together. Thank you for joining me on this mission!

With gratitude, Mike 

P.S. Every dollar counts! Let’s make tails wag and hearts happy.
