My Story…

I'm thrilled to share that I am running the Pittsburgh Marathon, benefitting Animal Friends, a local Pittsburgh animal shelter.

Animal Friends has provided the utmost care to my two fur babies, Griffin and Hazelnut, for years now. I'd like to give back to them for providing such good care to my cats and all the other animals they tend to. Animal Friends is my reason to run and why I ask you to please donate to help animals in need.

Your support means so much to me. Think of all the animals we can help!

Thanks and see you in May!

-Mary Sabatelle

P.S. If you choose to donate, please include your name with your donation (if you are comfortable) so that I can reach out personally to say thanks!
