Rio Rancho dogs will be a small number of the two million dogs, across the country, that will walk for cancer on Sunday, Sept. 30. ?Puppy Up! Against Canine Cancer Walk? is a nation wide campaign to get two million dogs walking simultaneously for cancer.
Luke Robinson, a Boston man, set off on a 2,000 mile walk in March 2008 from Austin, TX to Boston, MA with his two Great Pyrenees dogs, Murphy and Hudson. Sharing the story of his deceased dog, Malcolm, who died of metastatic bone cancer in 2006.
Educating people about dog cancer and his 2,000 mile journey inspired a grassroots movement across the country. Robinson realized his vision of having two million dogs walk for cancer through the annual ?Puppy Up! Walk.?
The 2 Million Dogs Foundation?s mission is to discover the common links between dog and human cancers through comparative oncology research which study the naturally occurring cancers in animals to help understand cancer in humans. Money raised at the event will be used to help cancer research institutions further their work in oncology. ?
