Tell us about yourself: I live in Metro-West Boston with my husband and our rescued Dutch Shepherd, Minnie. She loves anything involving activity. Our first rescued DS, Kaya, loved to tug. Our second rescued DS (who actually turned out to be a GSDx), Marley, loved to nap. I volunteer for the North American Dutch Shepherd Rescue and am a member of the NADSR BOD.

Running the Boston Marathon for Baypath Humane Society

Post by cake73 »

Greeting Dutch Shepherd Enthusiasts!

This winter, I was given the opportunity to run the Boston Marathon by fundraising for Baypath Humane Society of Hopkinton, MA (http://baypathhumane.org. They are a non-profit, no-kill shelter for dogs and cats. As this is considered a "charity" bib, I didn't have to run a Boston qualifying time at a previous marathon, BUT I still have to do all of the training and commit to a $2500 fundraising goal. To date, the fundraising is lagging behind the training. I have run up to 30K (18.64 miles), but have only raised about 10% of my goal.

So, if after helping NADSR and Dutch Shepherds in need, you are able to donate any amount to Baypath Humane Society, that would be really appreciated by me and would be put to good use by the folks at Baypath.

At first glance, this may appear to be an "off-breed" topic and request, but I was floored to see a Dutch Shepherd that was adopted from Baypath at their Paws and Claws 5K race last October.


Donations can be made online at
http://baypathhumane.org/marathon

Please be sure to dedicate your donation to "Cheryl marathon" so they can keep track of my fundraising. Also, please be sure to send me a private message through the forum so that I can send you a thank you note!


If you would rather send a check, please make it out to "Baypath Humane Society" and private message me for my mailing address or send it directly to Baypath at:
Baypath Humane Society
P.O. Box 23
Hopkinton, MA 01748-0023

Please note in the memo line that the check is for "Cheryl marathon" and please do let me know you've sent it so I can acknowledge your gift.


Much thanks!
Cheryl

I just want to thank *everybody* who may have made a "marathon" donation to Baypath Humane Society!

I get very little feedback regarding donations (practically none, really). In fact, the only guaranteed feedback is when the donors themselves contact me personally. Please, let me know you've donated and I'll be able to add your name to the back of my race bib!
