My Story…

If you know Julia, you know her enormous heart for all creatures great and small! She has a particular love for dogs, cats, and bunnies. This year, Julia will be running her first Kids Marathon in support of Animal Friends. She has been training hard each week as part of the Kids of Steel program at her school, and will be running the final mile on May 3rd!

She's experienced firsthand the amazing work Animal Friends does at their Education & Engagement center where she and so many other children have learned about caring for pets and had the chance to support the animals in their care with crafting fun enrichment toys and donating food and supplies. Although Julia will be running the race on 2 legs on May 3rd, she'll be thinking of her little friends with 4!
