2 more Panthers dead -- Help us help them!

So this past week TWO MORE panthers were killed, which is horrible because these two panthers bring the total number of dead panthers this year up to 26. The previous record was 25 back in 2009, so this has proven to be a dangerous year for these beautiful big cats. 

There are just a little more than 100 Florida panthers left in the wild, and because of human development and roads crisscrossing through panther country their future is getting grimmer. Is this really what we want? Or do we want to help restore the environment and give endangered animals like these more hope?

We're starting our run on Saturday for a week for running through habitats with some of the most interesting and beautiful flora and fauna in the world. We'll be posting pictures from the run online, so be sure to check them out!
