New challenge: Running for GILDA

The Animal Shelter SARA (Protectora de animales SARA) in Lanzarote has a lot fixed costs to tend to all the animals they look after while they wait for a responsible adoption. 

On top of that, far to often, SARA has additional costs due to emergencies, like GILDA's case. These emergencies put the shelter in a lot of pressure financially. 

GILDA is 3 years old and she is a Siamese female found in the Arrecife motorway. Her hip and femur were broken. The cost of the operation, the X-rays and the treatment is 380€. 

So I have decided to run the 5km of the Disco Night Urban Race on the 7th of May to raise fund to provide some financial relieve to the shelter from the additional costs that tending to GILDA has caused.  

Every euro that you may donate will be very, very welcome.
And if you can not afford to donate, please do share her story. 

Many thanks from me, SARA and above old from the gorgeous GILDA.

Donations here, thank you. 

MFT # 18 - The Laughing Heart by Charles Bukowski

your life is your life
don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission.
be on the watch.
there are ways out.
there is light somewhere.
it may not be much light but
it beats the darkness.
be on the watch.
the gods will offer you chances.
know them.
take them.
you can’t beat death but
you can beat death in life, sometimes.
and the more often you learn to do it,
the more light there will be.
your life is your life.
know it while you have it.
you are marvelous
the gods wait to delight
in you.
