Ginger Morgan of 2 Dogs, 2000 Miles is fighting for a cure to canine cancer. We’ve been thrilled to help their journey any way they’ve asked. Now they’re asking us all to spread the word — and join September 18 if you can! Here’s a guest blog announcement.

Join us for the First Canine Cancer Caucus in Washington, DC
September 18, 2009 11:00a.m. Lady Bird Johnson Park

With the rate of canine cancer at record proportions, thousands of dogs and their owners are being called upon to march on Washington, DC, September 18 to raise awareness of the issue of cancer in dogs and memorialize those who have succumbed to the disease.

This march is to bring awareness to this frightening disease and hopefully stimulate interest in the funding of canine oncology studies that will help not only dogs but also people.

After assembling at Lady Bird Johnson Park, participants will march across the Arlington Memorial Bridge and stop at the Reflecting Pool on the National Mall for a brief memorial service for those dogs lost to cancer. The march will then continue to the Old Folklife Festival Site, where Robinson will be joined by other speakers to discuss the canine cancer epidemic.

Dog owners interested in participating can look for updates about the march posted at www.2dogs2000miles.org or email dc@2dogs2000miles.org. Additional information about canine cancer and Robinson’s 2,000-mile walk are also available at the site.

2 Dogs 2000 Miles would like to thank Halo Pets for continuing to send Hudson and Murphy delicious food and treats along their journey.
