The Wild, The Fund, and Dr. Kelly

It's an absolutely gorgeous day riding over to Key Largo. Our route has us going down Card Sound road instead of US1, which is a lot less traffic and definitely more scenic. These guys have been running next to birds and snakes (all nice, no accidents!) and still a good amount of road kill.
Running through these amazing wild places really gives us more insight to what these animals go through. And it makes us happy to know that the organization that we are donating to, The Conservation Fund, really has the animals' best interests in mind. They are working to conserve the habitat that they live in, and just recently they completed a project to save 650 acres of prime panther habitat. This give the panthers way more territory to roam in, which means less chance of them getting hit by a car. We are so happy to be working with them for T4T!!
Attached below is a video from yesterday (too many videos for our Run Manager to handle! Haha), with Dr. Kelly after his run and a special thank you to Erin Smith. Stay with us to keep updated!
