Animal Lovers Run a Marathon to Help Raise Awareness | Penny Marathon - Greece
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
I could say that the Penny Marathon is just another animal welfare non-profit organization, but it’s a lot more. The Penny Marathon is a chance for all of us to go out there once a year, among the public, and speak for all companion animals that keep waiting in shelter kennels or out on the streets - waiting for a chance. Once a year, instead of hiding behind heartbreaking Facebook posts and cries for help through online fundraising campaigns, we run a Marathon, hoping to get the attention of people who might never had heard of what rescuing is actually about and might never had come across an animal welfare Facebook page or website.. Basically the The Penny Marathon is an animal welfare charity that provides “both a voice to stray, abandoned, neglected and abused companion animals (cats and dogs) and support to the people and groups that fight to save their lives. The money raised through donations and sales is primarily used for various stages of the rescue-rehome process”. The marathon is run the second Sunday of July, in Greece and Australia. 42 kilometers are covered, from the starting point to the finish line. You can register and run all 42 kilometers or join in at any meeting point on the way. This year, the marathon took place on July 10 in four cities in Greece (Athens, Hania, Salamina & Kalamata) and one in Australia (Sydney). Running the Penny Marathon is much more than running just another marathon. It’s like sharing the journey of every orphaned, homeless and mistreated companion animals out there, form Greece to Australia and all around the world - it’s long and difficult journey towards something that can be considered as an end. Whether the end of their journey is a new home, an accidental death on the street or a euthanasia shot in a shelter’s “unwanted” ward, we run for them - and we’ll keep running until no more healthy dogs are put down, until no dog or cat is obliged to make the streets a home, until people realize that even considering buying a companion animal, is actually what killed Penny, and all the Pennies in the world.

Beautiful day, beautiful people and beautiful puppies! Great awareness run! Run free for the Dogs! A’ho
It's beautiful when so many people are working towards one thing! I love this!
Thanks Valia.It make me feel good to see all those peoples who love their pet so much;i even feelt a few tears rolling on my cheek....tears of joy because it give the hope that someday more then 50% of the population will be sensible to the problem of the stray animals and would do something about it-then it will be a revolution.
You guys are a hero for saving these suffering,hurt,poor animals and trying to save them and helping them learning to trust and love and never stop doing that and these animals have been saved because of you guys and gave them the ability to gain hope and confidence don't ever stop thank you for saving these animals :)

I heard the Rocky epic training theme in my head the whole time watching this! =D I have never voluntarily exercised , I only run in case of emergency. Seeing this tho...I'm tempted. The power of love for animals I guess. XD

I never ever exercise. I did the marathon by car last year, so that I could film it. But I am considering doing it next year (well, part of it)
Это очень правильная и хорошая инициатива))
I Like your training video, keep posting really. #moment757
That is a great idea. Imagine it with 100,000 people, totally blocking traffic in the whole city ... and ending it in front of City Hall, demanding action from lazy, thieving bureaucrats.
Μακάρι να το ήξερα νωρίτερα. Θα ήθελα τόσο πολύ να τρέξω για την Jasmine (η οποία κάποια στιγμή θα γίνει δική μου

+OrphanPet Gr Την αγάπησα από την πρώτη στιγμή που την είδα στο κανάλι. Πήγα και στο καταφύγιο και την είδα, αλλά δυστυχώς δεν μπορώ να την πάρω ακόμα. Όμως του χρόνου που θα τελειωσω την τρίτη λυκείου και όλη μου η προσοχή θα είναι πάνω της θα την βουτήξω κατευθείαν!!

This is truly heart warming. I'm just sorry I couldn't join you guys and I am also sad for Greece and its people for having your country f*cked up by unelected corrupt morons in Brussels and Angela Merkel. Hopefully one day your country can be the best it can be like it use to be once upon a time.
