Dakoda Armstrongs charity of choice, Susies Hope, will be riding on the bed of the #60 WinField Silverado this weekend at Martinsville Speedway. Based in nearby Greensboro, North Carolina, Susies Hope was founded by Donna Lawrence, owner of a Pit Bull mix named Susie. Found in a park after she was severely abused, Susie was saved and adopted by Lawrence. Together theyve set out to educate the public and stop animal cruelty; inspiring the largest grassroots movement for animals in North Carolina in 2010. Susies supporters campaigned to state legislators to stop animal cruelty, and Susies Law was passed in 2011. The law now serves jail time to those convicted of animal abuse crimes in NC. The duo continues to take their story around the state and nationwide, helping educate people of all ages about the proper care of animals and most recently producing a movie to tell their story.(Dakoda Armstrong PR)
