All of the donations that Tanya Seal-Jones received will go to Balfour’s Friends Foundation
City of Victoria emergency program coordinator Tanya Seal-Jones is set to compete in a 322-kilometre endurance footrace to raise money to help sick and injured animals.
Since it was founded in 2012, BFF has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars. The organization's popular fundraising efforts include Officers on Pawtrol and Firefighters and Friends calendars, in which local police officers and firefighters pose with their pets. The 100 participants will have to cross rivers, bushwhack and scramble up steep inclines, while managing an elevation gain and loss of over 12 kilometres. For most, an undertaking like this one, which requires participants to push their bodies to the max, sounds like an impossible challenge. Seal-Jones, however, welcomes it.
