Yesterday was National Walking Day, what better way to continue the celebration than by taking part in the virtual Pope Memorial SPCA 5K Dirty Paws Fun Run! Between today and April 10, 2021, the staff and volunteers of the Pope Memorial SPCA of Concord-Merrimack County in New Hampshire invite you to walk, hike, or run in your neighborhood, on a trail, at a park, or even on a treadmill, to raise funds for their mission to help animals.
