My Story…
Hi! I’m Tessa, and this June I’ll be running Grandma’s Marathon as part of Team Animal Allies to raise critical funds for animals in need. Every mile I run supports Animal Allies Humane Society, an organization dedicated to providing shelter, medical care, and second chances to animals who need it most.
Animals have always been at the heart of my life. I’m a proud cat mom to Lenore and Petunia, an outdoor enthusiast, and a volunteer at the local cat café where I help care for cats while they wait for their forever homes. Through this work, I’ve seen how life-changing timely medical care, safe shelter, and compassionate humans can be for animals who have nowhere else to turn.
Your donation directly supports animals like these, providing food, veterinary care, warm shelter, and the love they deserve while they wait for a family of their own. Animal Allies ensures that every animal gets the care and dignity they deserve, regardless of their circumstances.
I’ve been running for over 10 years, and Grandma’s Marathon was the first marathon I ever completed. Running it again this year is especially meaningful because every step is powered by your generosity and helps create real, tangible change for animals in our community.
If an animal has ever made your life better, please consider giving today. Whether you donate, share this page, or cheer me on, your support makes a measurable difference and carries me through all 26.2 miles. 🖤🐾
Thank you for helping save lives, one step at a time.
Donate to help Tessa raise money for 2026 Grandma's Marathon Weekend Races’s fundraising campaign.
