Okay, it's that time again!
Once more, this year, I have signed up to do the 5K walk to raise funds for Animal Rescue in Los Angeles. My fund-raising goal is $500 - I have a "page" on Race For the Rescues website (
www.racefortherescues.org).
Please - go to that website, click the "Find Participant" button, find me (BarbaraHambly), and donate what you can. Animals are at the very bottom of the rather shallow charity pool these days: rescue organizations and no-kill shelters work hard to take up the slack of people who don't spay and neuter their pets, who abandon their pets ("Oh, they'll be fine in the wild..."), who acquire animals without the slightest idea of the responsibilities involved toward another living creature and then dump them if it turns out to be not convenient. The animals themselves are completely innocent of what human society does to them.
I'm not sure I'll be able to do the entire 5K this year (knee issues), but at least I can raise the funds for a contribution.
Thank you ALL for whatever you can contribute!
