Humane League Fundraiser 2018 | 12 Hour Loop

The Humane League is a farm animal protection non-profit, founded in Philidelphia (2005) The Humane League's mission is to "reduce animal suffering by creating change at all levels"  Change is advocated by encouraging implementation of methods reforming how farm animals are treated.  Other methods involve corporate campaigns, wide-ranging outreach and education programs, supported by an extensive network of organizations and activists from around the world.  Each year, The Humane League grants athletes the opportunity to raise money through goal setting.  This platform fundraises for a non-profit while simultaneously breaking the stigma that vegan athletes are subpar.  If anything, science is proving vegan athletes have the advantage.  That is why this year, on behalf of The Humane League, I am looping Mt. Sanitas for 12 hours straight. Mount Sanitas and Sanitas Valley Loop Trail is a 3.2 mile heavily trafficked loop trail located near Boulder, Colorado that features beautiful wild flowers and is rated as moderate. The trail offers a number of activity options and is best used from March until October.
