Waddle for a good cause.

Excitement has taken over me and it is all for a 5k run for penguins… who would’ve thought!? As I was creeping on facebook yesterday, I came across my best friends’ post that she was running a 5k in the Bronx Zoo. Immediately, I googled it and within ten minutes, my sister and I were signed up! The 5K race is being held by the Wildlife Conservation Society on April 30 in the Bronx Zoo. This year, the contributions are going towards saving penguins. We each have to raise $250, which I am not really sure how we will manage that one.. but I am sure we will find a way.

It may not be a run to find a cure for cancer or diabetes but it is still for a good cause and I know we will have a good time running and making a day out of it. I have always had a special interest in penguins and most sea life. Actually, funny story… My aunt adopted me a humpback whale when I was little, I had this weird fascination with whales (I think because of Free Willy – even though I am terrified of Killer Whales ha …and the ocean). Out of all the names I could have picked for my whale, I picked the name Salt. Really?? Salt?… I loved Salt like he was a pet, even though my aunt probably just paid a set fee and they send everyone the same photograph but oh well, I think I was 10 and I didn’t know the difference. I wonder what happened to him…

Anyways, I am looking forward to running for a cause with good company. Being active is important to me and I look forward to running for more causes in the future. If you’re interested in participating or making a donation, you can do both here: Wildlife Conservation Society

How cute are they?
