Meet this Month’s Feetured Runner!  

March 31, 2025 by Nery Rubio

Holly Bronson has been a dedicated Fundraising Runner for Friends For Life for over four years. She served as the Chair of the FFL Running Team for the 2024/2025 season, volunteers with our cat team, and has recently fostered more than 20 cats.An experienced runner, Holly has completed more than 40 marathons around the world. Her commitment to both running and animal rescue makes a big impact on the Friends For Life animal community.

Pets: Holly’s feline family includes Lewis, Clark, Katy, Ryder, and Sansi, ranging from playful kittens to wise seniors.

Pictured: Lewis and Clark. Ryder made a quick cameo, while Katy and Sansi opted to avoid the PAWparazzi.

Why do you support Friends For Life?: Friends For Life helps people keep their pets through various programs keeps family together, and helps people find their soul animal.

Most Memorable Race?: Way too hard to choose! Dublin was so scenic and races that ended in Olympic stadiums such as Athens and Stockholm are epic, too! Each race is special.

Advice to New Runners?: Stretch and do the drills, run/walk with your friends and do it for yourself. Also, You can have a good race from ANYWHERE. It isn’t about the corral assignment, the weather, coming in first or dead last. Have a good time doing it!
