To celebrate his 50th spring, one animal lover set out on a goal to walk 50 dogs from a Cincinnati, USA-based shelter. He also organized a fundraiser to support the charity.
Some people just like to blow out their candles on their birthday. Alex Johns has made the decision to celebrate his 50th birthday in a unique way this year by giving to a neighborhood organization.
The American had previously volunteered at the shelter because of his love of animals. <You are surely aware that I prefer dogs over people. I volunteer to walk dogs at Cincinnati Animal CARE every week because of this> he wrote on Facebook. But he made a very unique resolution for himself on his birthday.
50 years, 50 canines.
The kindhearted man started a fundraising campaign on social media and asked his relatives and friends to contribute. And the outcome far above his expectations.
The $ 5,000 threshold has mainly been reached (around € 4,400). Nearly $12,000 (or €10,600) was raised for the « help keep it operational! » campaign, per one of the organization’s most recent Instagram posts.
Alex Johns not only made a substantial financial gain, but also accomplished a second important goal. He led 50 neighborhood dogs for a walk on his 50th spring day.
The volunteer reportedly had pleasure strolling his 50 feline buddies in a single day, according to People magazine. a potent deed that has the potential to raise awareness of the adoption of orphan animals.
