Hello, my name is Emma Cameron, and I'm a campaign specialist in the Corporate Engagement Department at Mercy For Animals.
I think we all have a lot of work to do in expanding our circle of compassion to include others who are more marginalized in this world. Farmed animals in particular endure relentless abuse in our broken food system. Mercy For Animals is committed to creating a more compassionate food system for everyone, and that includes the slaughterhouse workers who suffer as a result of systemic inequities. I'm proud to work at Mercy For Animals and make a small contribution toward ending this suffering and abuse.
I was beyond excited to have a full race calendar in 2020, with one if not two races per month. Since the pandemic forced cancellation of my races this year, I'm looking for new opportunities to shift the way I think about running. As of Friday, July 17, I have run 1,993 miles this year.
In my 20/20 Challenge, I'll mark 2,020 miles as a starting point and run a year-long race for animals to raise $2,020!
