My Story…

Hello friends!

I've registered for the 2026 Pittsburgh Half Marathon and will again be running for Animal Friends.

Animal Friends offers a humane and compassionate future for every animal friend.

Their mission is to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome animals in crisis, ensure healthy pets through education, advocacy and affordable services, and inspire a community where the animal-human bond is celebrated and nurtured.

As a proud "dad" of adopted cats this organization and what they stand for means a lot to me. 

Please consider donating to this wonderful organization in support of both our furry companions and my running efforts. 

Thank you!
