I had a reader, who was checking out the post about the Astros fundraising calendar for Saving Animals, leave a comment about "Run for a Reason," the charity drive of the Houston Marathon. He remarked that two of the charities of the 35 "official" charities listed for the marathon are Citizens for Animal Protection and the Houston SPCA.

On my top three list of things to love -- besides 1)my family and friends, and 2)animals -- is running. I would not be a sane human being if I didn't have the ability to lace up my running shoes and go out and run. I've done a few marathons, and Houston's big race is near and dear to my heart. They're hoping to raise $1 million for their 35 chosen charities this year!

You may know someone who is raising money for one of the Houston Marathon charities, and you can donate to them. If not, check out the main page for the Marathon charity drive here. You can also make marathon donations to the SPCA (here) and CAP (here).
