Mike McClelland, a former Meadville resident living in London, hopes that running a marathon to raise money for an organization called The Blue Cross will save some animals’ lives. McClelland was home recently and took the chance to spend time with his black Lab named Rufus. The animal lover found out that before the Olympics in Greece many animals that were on the streets there were rounded up and euthanized. He is hoping that does not happen in London in 2012.


Former local man enters marathon to save strays

By Keith Gushard

He has previously run a half-marathon, or 13.1 miles.

“I didn’t have any problems except my shoulders got sore. I needed to do more weight lifting,” he said with a laugh.

McClelland didn’t run competitively in high school in Meadville; instead, he was a swimmer and tennis player.

He began running for distance in 2005 when he spent a college semester abroad in Australia and started running with friends there.

YOU CAN HELP

Michael B. McClelland wants to raise $4,200 to benefit The Blue Cross, England’s pet charity, by running in the Flora London Marathon this April.

The donation site for Michael B. McClelland to benefit The Blue Cross is: www.justgiving.com/michaelbmcclelland.
