Canine Cancer Campaign
Lost a beloved dog to cancer? Do you want to join the fight for a cure? Join the Morris Animal Foundation's (MAF) global effort to cure canine cancer. The Canine Cancer Campaign is seeking to prevent canine cancer, while immediately seeking treatment advancements to help dogs suffering from cancer today. We are a small group of Sacramento dog lovers volunteering to educate Northern California dog lovers that there is an effort under way to save our dogs. We are distributing information and raising funds for research. We will be giving updates on the war on cancer, new treatments, research studies at UCD, study outcomes, Canine Cancer Campaign events and to share stories about our dogs and cancer

Join us for the national Kick-off of the K9K Walk to Cure Canine Cancer at Elk Grove Regional Park  benefiting the Morris Animal Foundation's  Canine Cancer Campaign.   Walk with your dog(s) or without, your choice. Advance registration ends soon-must be postmarked by April 13th ($25 adults), after that please register the morning of the Walk at the registration desk. Walk day registration is $30.

The K9K starts with registration and check in at 8 am. At 8:50 am there is kick off talk about canine cancer, then we are off for a 3k walk around the lake.  There is a 6k walk at 9:45 am for those who'd like to take a walk on the new perimeter park trail. 

After the walks join our panel of experts who will discuss cancer prevention, early detection, wellness, optimizing your dogs health, cancer research, treatment and how to be an advocate for your dog’s health, featuring:

One in four dogs die of cancer.  If you can't make it to the walk, consider going online to make a small donation to cure canine cancer.
