Hanna Sanchez is probably the first local triathlete who has used her talent in swimming to raise funds and help treat abandoned animals for care and future adoption.
–
Animals are near and dear to Hannah’s heart (she herself takes care of more than a dozen stray cats and dogs in her home) as she has been an active supporter of CARA (Compassion and Responsibility for Animals) Welfare Philippines.
–
Last year, she was able to raise more than P65,000.00 by swimming 13 hours straight (with 1 hour rest break) totaling 22.5kms and donating the proceeds to CARA.
–
On August 16, 2014, Hannah will again attempt to duplicate the feat and add more to her time last year by attempting to finish a staggering distance of 25km and raise P100,000 through pledges, all for the sake of animal welfare.
–
She may be busy in her other aspects of life in work and training but these won’t stop her from giving back in a very personal and hands-on way of helping animals.
