Carol Smock has made the commitment... to run the 2009 Dublin, Ireland HALF Marathon! Carol wants to raise $6,000 to get to Ireland. The money she raises will be used to create a National Fund for Brown Dog Foundation. "Okay, seriously... I don't run! What am I doing???? What am I thinking???? I am thinking... this is a great way to lose the chub I've added over the past couple of years... and, I can drink lots of Guinness in 4 days... oh, and it's sooooooo green and lush in Ireland... but, most importantly, I am thinking THIS is how I can make a difference!"
"Despite the fact that I don't run, I am going to do this... why punish myself you ask? Because I just learned that there is at least $500,000 of need for Brown Dog's services across this country every year. More than 200 family pets were not saved this year because Brown Dog didn't have the resources - I want to change that! I want to save 20 family pets with the money I raise!" - Carol Smock
Brown Dog's National Fund will provide life-sustaining medications for family pets when the family is faced wtih a temporary financial crisis. To donate to Carol's Campaign, please click on the "donate now" button below. Fundraising Update $2,847 Raised; $3,153 to go!!! |
