Last Friday, Companions for Life co-hosted a reception to kick off one man's 800 mile bike ride to raise money and awareness for the spay, neuter and adopt cause.
Check out how Bill is doing here - he's over half way, at 402.6 miles today, in Kosciusku, MS!
Every day he posts a little audio update from the bike and those updates are quite moving. Yesterday he raised the fact that Wednesdays are sad days at animal shelters, because that's the day unwanted animals are euthanized. There are more and more animals in this situation lately due to the economic downturn and the fact that some people can no longer keep their pets (or their homes).

How you can help reduce the numbers of animals who are euthanized is to spay or neuter your pets to cut down on pet overpopulation, and to adopt an animal from a shelter.
If you're on Bill's route (or even if you're not), please consider donating to your local animal shelters or humane society to help them do a better job of caring for and finding homes for the animals they have. Here is a list of the states on Bill's route and some of the organizations he's helping raise money for.
Of course, money isn't the only way to help - have you considered volunteering at a shelter or humane society? What a wonderful way to give back, and to feel the unconditional love of animals every day!
We hope that Bill's epic bike ride inspires you to take action - do anything, just don't do nothing!
