Woman to Run PV Half Marathon for Animal Rights Group
Jaya Bhumitra will be one of the nearly 2,000 runners participating this Saturday.
Jaya Bhumitra was so devastated after losing her sister in a fatal accident in 2009, she gave up many of the things she enjoyed, including running.
But her desire to save animals helped her recover from the grieving. Now, Bhumitra is running this Saturday's Palos Verdes Half Marathon on behalf of the animal rights group Compassion Over Killing.
Huffington Post blogger Ellen Kanner shared Bhumitra's story in her post on the site today.
