This year, one woman did what *some* people thought no woman could do.

That woman was Jasmin Paris, fell- and ultra-runner who completed the Barkley Marathons, a near-impossible 100 mile course across 5 soul-destroying loops.

Jasmin is the first ever woman and only the 20th person to complete this incredible feat.

This was her second attempt, and she finished with 99 seconds to spare, a true display of resilience, grit and believing in yourself no matter what.

But this wasn’t Jasmin’s first epic achievement. In 2019, she won the Spine race along the Pennine Way, the first woman to do so AND smashed the men’s race record by 12 hours.

Congratulations to Jasmin, who says one of her top motivations is showing other women and girls what’s possible: “I did it for me, but I did it for women worldwide as well - not just runners - but any woman that wants to take on a challenge and maybe doesn't have the confidence.”

With Mother’s Day around the corner, we would like to shout out all the amazing moms out there, in all their beautiful forms.

Princess here had one little kitten on her own, then took on the role of foster mama and helped feed four more baby kittens while we located their mom. Just amazing, and so, so cute 💙 Princess and the babies are in foster and not available for adoption at this time.

If you would like to make a gift in honor of an amazing mom in your life that will support animals like Princess and the kittens, please visit mspca.org/mom. We will send an eCard to a recipient of your choosing 🌸
