Dear Friends,

Tomorrow, I will be running a 5K to celebrate the 29th anniversary of the day my life was spared after being run down by a speeding train. My course will be the first leg of a worldwide #Run4Fun race, intended to raise awareness and help pass the U.S. Greyhound Protection Act into law.

Right now this historic measure has thirty-one co-sponsors and counting . It was an honor to draft this “greyt” legislation, which will free thousands of greyhounds on American soil and prohibit American gamblers from betting on foreign races.

I have scheduled my race for September 10, which is the 29th anniversary of the terrible accident I had with my beautiful dog, Kelsey. We nearly died that day! But instead, we were fortunate enough to recover and begin working together for the greyhounds. My goal is to raise $29,000 in her memory and to benefit the federal campaign. Won’t you please help?

P.S. Did you know that GREY2K USA Worldwide has again received the highest rating from charity watchdogs GreatNonprofits and Guidestar ? This means that when you choose to support our work, you can be sure that your dollars will always help give greyhounds the second chance they deserve.
