My Story…

Greetings,

Welcome to my fundraising page. This is my second time running the Pittsburgh Half Marathon, and I'm not too ashamed to admit that I am a bit underprepared. A brutal winter kept me inside rotting on the couch instead of training. I'll be relying on the support of my friends, family, and colleagues to help me cross that finish line.

Once again, I’m proud to be running in support of Animal Friends, an incredible organization dedicated to providing compassionate care and a second chance to animals in need. 

Last year we raised $1,897. How awesome is that?! I was blown away by the generosity of yinz 🥹(who's cutting onions?). I'm hoping we can make an even bigger impact this year!

Any donation, big or small, makes a huge difference. Thank you so much for your support.

Yours truly,

Hoop.
