Annual Brittany Zimmermann Memorial Walk to benefit Marshfield Area Pet Shelter
Paws For Brittany is a fun run and dog walk in memory of animal-lover Brittany Zimmermann. The walk/run starts and finishes in beautiful Wildwood Park in Marshfield.
Marshfield native Brittany Zimmermann was attending UW-Madison when she was brutally
attacked and murdered on April 2, 2008. The crime remains unsolved. Not knowing the details of what happened to their daughter, or who is responsible, makes dealing with the loss of Brittany that much more difficult for her parents, Kevin and Jean Zimmermann of Marshfield, who take some comfort in caring for Brittany’s three beloved cats, Marvin, Felix and Boo. Brittany’s love for animals led her to rescue two of her three cats, which are now treasured by her parents.
“Her love of animals was overwhelming to us. Her cats were such a huge part of her life,” said Brittany’s mother, Jean Zimmermann. “Kevin and I would like to express our gratitude to MAPS for allowing us to be part of something that Brittany would have been so passionate about. We are grateful for everyone who has come out to support MAPS for the Paws for Brittany walk and we hope even more people come and show their support this year.”
This family-friendly event for all ages takes walkers around the upper pond, past buffalo, elk, wolves and other wildlife. Pets and strollers are welcome. (Feel free to come and walk even if you don’t have a dog!) Money raised from this event helps care for homeless animals found in the community Brittany grew up in and will help many animals that she adored.
