Frosty Whiskers and the Hypothermic Half-Marathon!

Fundraising for the Winnipeg Humane Society


2017/2018 update:


In February 2018, Jillian will be joining some brave colleagues from The Winnipeg Humane Society to run in Manitoba winter weather!  Some will be doing the Half-marathon, and some of us will be trying to beat our best time in the 10K.  

You can donate directly to this fundraiser on the Winnipeg Humane Society's webpage 

Stay tuned to the Frosty Whiskers' Facebook page and the Pawsitive Pet Care Facebook page for exciting fundraising goals and updates!  



Original Post from November 29 2014:


Those who know me know I am a coffee addict. Recent increases in coffee prices had me thinking: I spend a good $2 every single day buying drive-thru coffee. That comes to at least $60/month!  It just so happens that my wonderful co-workers on the Behaviour Team at the The Winnipeg Humane Society are doing the Hypothermic Half Marathon in support of the WHS on February 22nd. I have decided that, starting today, I will brew my coffee at home and set $2 aside each day to donate towards this worthwhile cause. That's 85 days, $2 per day, equalling $170 to help animals in the care of the WHS! 



My last drive-thru coffee for 85 days.


I welcome anyone who wants to help fundraise for this worthwhile cause to join me.  Please donate at http://www.gofundme.com/frostywhiskers and share this page to help our animals in need.  It costs an average of $400 PER DOG in the care of the WHS and they rely solely on donations from the generous public. Thank you and happy training
