Meet Sophie
Sophie summited Mount Kilimanjaro to raise funds for Pet Refuge!
A long-time supporter, Sophie set herself an incredible challenge to raise money for pets and families escaping violence.
"The night we summited was the hardest mental and physical challenge I’ve ever faced—below-freezing temperatures, lack of oxygen, and exhaustion. But knowing I was helping pets kept me going!"
Despite the difficulty, Sophie reached the 5,895m summit and raised an incredible $1,590 for Pet Refuge.
Thank you, Sophie, for your determination and support—every dollar you raised has made a life-changing difference.
