33-year-old Dan Mathews from Wales has created a fundraiser<\/a> <\/span>on the UAnimals festive platform to collect funds for Ukrainian animals, pledging to run the Barcelona Marathon on March 10th.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter the war broke out, I was searching the ways to donate,<\/span> and I care very much particularly for animals,\u2014Dan says.\u2014Just the thought of animals being in danger makes me very upset. So I created the fundraiser. The work you guys do is incredible, helping animals and keeping them alive, providing food. I just wanted to support this in any way I could\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

Dan learned about UAnimals from his mother’s Facebook because he does not have social media. The first to donate to the fundraiser were his mother and friends.<\/span> During the marathon, Dan hopes to raise more money.<\/p>\n

For Dan, the marathon is both a personal challenge and a mission. He suffers from asthma, so running is not easy for him. However, Dan is preparing diligently and recently completed a half marathon. He will travel to Barcelona with his dad.<\/span> The men will run the distance wearing T-shirts with the UAnimals\u2019 logo.<\/p>\n

Dan currently lives in London because he has a job there. At home in Wales, he has two dogs: the calm Poppy and the more energetic Jock.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A week after the marathon, Dan will celebrate his 34th birthday. “This holiday fundraiser is also a birthday present to myself,”<\/em>\u00a0 he says.<\/p>\n

Everyone can open a fundraiser for their special event on the UAnimals holiday platform<\/a><\/span>.<\/span> Join in \u2014 this way, your holiday will become even more special.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
