Pat's Walk for Paws-ability | Presented by the Institution for Savings

Step out from June 1-30 for MRFRS's 26th annual Strut for Strays!
The Merrimack River Feline Rescue Society's Strut for Strays Virtual Challenge will take you on a 20-mile journey through Newburyport, Amesbury and Salisbury, retracing MRFRS’s history and accomplishments along the way.
Each time you complete a distance-based exercise such as walking in your neighborhood, running, cycling or swimming, you log your mileage to advance along with the Strut for Strays map.
You'll complete the challenge with a group of feline lovers you'll also be able to see advance along the map.
Get moving with MRFRS's Strut for Strays Virtual Challenge today! You can fundraise to earn a special edition Strut t-shirt, hoodie and medal, but best of all you'll be a part of making paws-abilities come true for cats in need.
CREATE PAWS-ABILITIES FOR CATS IN NEED
Earn a medal, t-shirt or hoodie!
Celebrate your achievement with a Strut for Strays Virtual Challenge finisher's medal which you'll receive if you complete the challenge by June 30.
And, you can earn this year's Strut t-shirt and hoodie by fundraising for cats in need.*
Every individual who raises at least $300 will get the coveted hoodie, and those raising $50 will receive a Strut t-shirt. Raise $500 to get both the zip-up hoodie and the t-shirt!
*If you prefer to purchase a t-shirt or hoodie, you have the option to do so when registering for the challenge.
