I had a beautiful brown lab named Brandy for 14 adventurous and unforgettable years. She was my sidekick, my comfort, and my constant through every new chapter.

In her final two years, Brandy needed extra care—physically, emotionally, and financially. It was challenging, but I wouldn’t have traded that time for anything. It made me realize how many senior dogs don’t get that same love at the end of their lives.

That’s why I’m raising money for White Whiskers Senior Dog Sanctuary—an incredible nonprofit that gives abandoned, forgotten, or surrendered senior dogs a second chance at comfort, care, and love.

Located in Western New York, White Whiskers rescues senior dogs from shelters where they’re often overlooked and at risk of euthanasia. Donations help provide:

* Veterinary care and medications

* Daily essentials like food, bedding, and enrichment

* A safe, loving home where these dogs can live out their golden years in peace

I’m doing this in Brandy’s memory, to honor her life and the joy she brought me—and to help other senior dogs get the love they so deeply deserve.

Any donation, no matter the size, means the world. Thank you for supporting this cause that’s close to my heart.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joins up Pedal for Paws: Brandy’s Ride—the special event created to raise awareness and funds in her memory.
