You choose which distance you want to complete. Who will run/walk 100K or 100 Miles to honor Betty almost reaching 100 years??? Betty was a major animal activist, s0 at least 15% of every registration to Noah's Ark Animal Sanctuary in Georgia. Their mission is three-fold:
- To provide a forever home for injured, abused, and orphaned animals.
- To provide awareness through our education programs that emphasize all living things have value no matter how small or seemingly insignificant. When we as a society can recognize this fact, we will begin to win the battles for conservation and preservation.
- To provide unconditional love and care for animals who have special needs in their lives whether mental, physical, or emotional.
