Hi! This is Kate, raising funds on behalf of Marcus Rentie, Brittany Morgan, and their pup Batman (@batman.is.a.girl).

Last Saturday (March 28), Batman swallowed a rock and had to undergo emergency surgery to remove it. She’s just gotten home today (March 31) and is resting, but the situation escalated quickly and the cost came just as fast.

The total vet bill is around $6,000 – a tough, unexpected hit for anyone, especially as Marcus has recently been impacted by layoffs.

If you know Batman, you know she brings nonstop energy, barks, and joy to the trail running community – from the 5am crew to Trail Folx and beyond. She’s truly one of those dogs everyone knows and loves.

If you’re able to contribute anything to help Marcus and Brittany cover the cost of her surgery, it would mean a lot. And if not, sharing this goes a long way too ❤️
