For the third consecutive year, I will be raising funds for the Friends for Life animal shelter as part of my entry to the 2024 Chevron Houston Marathon, taking place on January 14, 2024. My wife Aaliya and I have worked closely with the Friends for Life organization in various capacities, from volunteering & fundraising to assisting multiple cats in finding forever homes. From the organization: “At Friends For Life, every animal matters. Founded in 2002, Friends For Life introduced the no-kill shelter model to Houston – saving animals regardless of their breed, age or condition.Houston-grown, we’re here to help our neighbors care for the pets they love.We’re not finished until every animal has a safe home. Until then, we’ll be innovating, improving and tracking results to find the most effective ways to save lives.” All donations will be greatly appreciated and go far to help out those who can’t help themselves.
