Jen's 150km in 30 days Challenge 🏃‍♀️

Support Jen in running 5km per day for 30 days!

 

Hi all, I'm Jen 😊 and thank you for visiting my fundraising page and taking the time to read my story.

🏃‍♀️ Running has played a pivotal role in my life ever since my older brother let me win in a footrace when I was 6 years old. That day, a thirst for competition was born.

A few short years later, I joined a track club outside of school, practicing every day and racing every weekend. It taught me intense discipline 💪 I wanted to be the best, and to be the best, you have to work hard.

As I’ve aged, running has become less of a competition with others and more of a competition with myself. It’s something sacred to me ✨. I don’t like to run with other people because I love the feeling of when it’s just me and the road.

But during my first marathon 3 years ago, I injured myself badly and had to take time off from running. Losing the one physical activity I love passionately took a big toll on my mental health.

Getting back into it has been a challenge, and I’ve let myself remain stagnant for too long. That’s why this challenge means so much to me 🙏.

This isn’t just about reclaiming my joy in running. It’s about channeling that strength into something bigger than myself something that matters deeply: creating a future where animals are free 🐮🐷🐥.

Keeping ourselves well is vital if we’re going to continue doing important work for animals. This challenge is an opportunity for me to take care of myself while raising funds for We The Free, an animal advocacy organization close to my heart ❤️.

I’m asking my friends, family, and people of the internet to donate towards this mission that means so much to me.

All the funds raised will be TRIPLED💥 one third going towards the WTF Toronto team 🇨🇦, and the rest helping to start new teams around the world 🌍.

If you know me, you know how important it is to me that we create a brighter future for animals. A future where animals are recognized as individuals with legal rights & freedoms ✨.

That’s what this run is about. Not just healing myself, but helping to create a world where animals can live free from harm 💞.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and also for your support.
