Hi everyone,
I haven't seen anything on the list about this in awhile, so I thought I would send this along.
https://2md2m.ejoinme.org/MyEvents/2Dogs2000MilesBostonCelebrations/tabid/202030/Default.aspx Luke lost his Pyr Malcolm to metastatic
bone cancer in 2006. In order to raise awareness of this disease, Luke took to the road with his other Pyrs, Hudson and Murphy, in March of 2008. They have walked over 2,400 miles in the last two years through more than 14 states.
They are going to walk their last mile into
Boston on Saturday, June 19th. Join them at the
Memorial service to remember the companions, canine or human, that we've lost to cancer. After the Memorial Service walk that last mile into Boston with them - dogs and their people from more than 20 states will be there! The walk will end at the Puppy Up! Festival where there will be vendors, food, entertainment and more.
The funds raised from these events will be used to launch the next phase of 2 Dogs,
2000 Miles, which is 2 Million Dogs. "Cancer. Touches. Everyone."
I will be attending the walk with Bacchus and Caelus in memory of Hagrid, a Pyr/Anatolian mix who died from
osteosarcoma at age 4, as well as my Labs, three of whom died of various cancers (one of osteosarcoma). We will be walking with the
Massachusetts Samoyeds and Friends group, if you would like to join us please let me know! You can also register as a group if you have your own or would like to form one, or you can register as an individual (the Memorial Service, Walk and Festival are free).
Please come join the celebration while remembering our dear ones at the
Rainbow Bridge.
Laurie, Bacchus & Caelus
