Welcome to My Best Friends Fundraising Page!

Hi!  Thanks for stopping by my fundraising page.  This September I will be running the Grand to Grand ultra stage race to raise money for Best Friends Animal Society. If you don't know that about me, I have been a part of Best Friends since its founding in 1984.  I left when I was 18 to join the United States Marine Corps and spend the next 27 years devoted to military and federal service.  Best Friends was always a part of me though, and in 2018, my wife and I moved back to Kanab and we've been here ever since.  For those of you who don't know about Grand to Grand or Best Friends Animal Society, please read on!​​

Beginning on September 22, the Grand to Grand is a 275 kilometer (171 mile), seven-day footrace is one of the world’s toughest races and takes place in one of the most remote corners of America. It requires incredible endurance, perseverance, and months of training. Many of those who start do not reach the finish line and it takes huge physical and mental strength to succeed. Learn more about this legendary feat of endurance at g2gultra.com. 

Best Friends Animal Society is the leading animal welfare organization working to end the killing of dogs and cats in America's shelters by 2025. Founded in 1984, Best Friends is a pioneer in the no-kill movement and has helped reduce the number of animals killed in shelters from an estimated 17 million per year to around 378,000. Best Friends runs lifesaving programs all across the country, as well as the nation's largest no-kill animal sanctuary. Working collaboratively with a network of more than 4,000 animal welfare and shelter partners, and community members nationwide, Best Friends is working to Save Them All®.

That's why I created this fundraiser.

When you donate to my fundraiser, you'll be helping around 1,600 dogs, cats, bunnies, birds, horses, and other barnyard animals who on any given day reside at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. Plus, you'll be helping to save the lives of homeless pets all across the country through lifesaving adoption and spay/neuter programs, no-kill initiatives, and more.

Thank you for donating to help save animals' lives. Together, we will Save Them All.
