Goal
Running my second marathon ever, I am honored to be able to fundraise for the Live Like Roo foundation! What a special group of people helping out our little furry friends. Our pets look to us for help (and when they’re hungry!) but sometimes, we need help - this is where Live Like Roo comes in. This foundation provides funds, services, and help bring joy to our animals who have cancer diagnosis.
The Live Like Roo Foundation started in 2015 when a shelter dog named "Sisqo" captured the heart of Sarah, our Executive Director. When he was rescued and renamed "Roosevelt" (Roo) and undergoing a medical exam, they found cancer. It was terminal. He was given a bucket list and lived like a king for 6 months. Many people followed his journey and Sarah was inspired to help others in his honor. Since 2016, this foundation has granted over $2.3 million dollars for pets and rescue animals with a cancer diagnosis and sent 5500 cancer care packages. We hope that everyone, sick or not, lives every day like it is your last. Live Like Roo.
