2018 DuPage Human Race

It was a beautiful day on April 28, 2018 for the 7th Annual DuPage Human Race.  There were nearly 2,000 walkers/runners who were supporting 58 non-profit organizations serving Dupage County.  I was supporting DuPage Animal Friends with my fundraiser, “Paulie’s Journey”. 

​Between me and 9 individual fundraisers and 7 adoptions animals with their own fundraiser page, we raised over $35,000 for the animals!  We also had 90 runners/walkers that participated in this event.  Prior to the race, we had a very generous anonymous donor who matched all the donations 2-1!  Due to this, DuPage Animals Friends were able to exceed their initial $10,000 goal.

It was a wonderful and rewarding day had by all and we all appreciated those who donated to the cause of the DuPage Animal Friends.  We look forward to next year!
