Many of us joined this community because we’ve been affected by canine cancer. It’s an awful disease, and we all want it stopped. One easy way we can make a difference is by walking, virtually or in pawson, at the Morris animal Foundation's K9 Cancer Walk in Estes Park, Colorado.

Why We Believe in Morris

Join us in Estes Park Colorado on Saturday, August 21st for a beautiful day in the park. There will be lots of dogs, playtime, speakers, goodies, music, contests and more!

Sign Up Today! Join Team Tripawds Here

Twice a year we participate in this event, held in Sacramento in spring, and Estes Park, Colorado in summer.

We really believe in the Morris Animal Foundation. They're the oldest and most respected organization on the planet that is helping to end canine cancer.

Morris Animal Foundation launched the Canine Cancer Campaign to help scientists worldwide prevent, treat and, ultimately, cure cancer in dogs. The K9 Cancer Walk program helps fund research that will develop prevention strategies, test new treatments, establish tools for cancer researchers and train new scientists specializing in cancer research.

Let's Do it Again!

In Spring, our West Coast Team Tripawds members walked in Sacramento at the Morris K9 Cancer Walk (photo above). That walked raised over $61,000! We hope this event is even more successful.

Please join us on August 21st in Estes Park, in your hometown, or in your PJs at home! If you can't be wish us in pawson, remember, you can walk "virtually" and be on our team too. Just sign up here to join, it's just $30 per adult.

Or how about hosting a Tripawd Pawty in your hometown on the same day, and walk virtually with us in Colorado? Imagine, Tripawds all around the country, walking in spirit, together, to help end canine cancer.

Hey Bob, thanks so much for this great information. Yes, Morris is indeed The Real Deal, we love them! They give us such hope for ending canine cancer.

We'll be posting about the Los Gatos one soon, thanks for the head's up.

Many thanks to Spirit Peyton's pack, Kris, Cami, Dillon and Rhys for signing on to join us at the Morris walk in Estes park.

Wyatt Ray says he can't WAIT to walk with little brother Rhys.

We hope to see many more folks signing up, either for Estes Park or Los Gatos, CA in October.

Both events are so much fun, and such a great cause! See you there!

Well everypawdy, the Morris Walk raised $40,000 last weekend in Estes Park, Colorado!

Some of you already know that my pawrents couldn't be there. They woke up early Saturday morning to make the two and a half hour trip to Estes Park, but their truck wouldn't start. Not even a jump from a neighbor's car would get it going. They were (and are) soooooo bummed and upset they weren't there. Even Wyatt Ray was disappointed that he didn't get to walk with Rhys.

But our team was there and that's all that mattered. Team Tripawds included Casey Gardner, Mom of Tripawd Annie; Kami and Kris, pawrents of Spirit Peyton, Dillon and Rhys; and Kim and Tim, pawrents of Spirit Tika, Caya and puppy Sitka.

Thank you everypawdy for being so supportive and excited about this event. Check out this great article about the walk, by USA Today reporter Sharon Peters, who has previously written about Tripawds.

Hundreds of Dogs, Owners Makes Strides for Cancer

You got it! I love that idea!!!!

This just in, from the fine folks at the Morris Animal Foundation… Many thanks to all who participated!

Thank you for participating in the 2nd annual K9 Cancer Walk in Estes Park, Colorado, on August 21, 2010. Morris Animal Foundation launched the K9 Cancer Walk program as a way to raise funds for its global Canine Cancer Campaign, which funds prevention and treatment research to help dogs enjoy longer, healthier, cancer-free lives.

The Canine Cancer Campaign has four goals: 

• Provide new treatments for dogs currently suffering from the disease 
• Provide scientists with a high-quality tumor tissue bank for further research  
• Provide strategies to prevent the disease
• Train new researchers who will work to find preventions, treatments and the ultimate cures

With the help of our volunteers, sponsors, vendors and nearly 400 participants, we raised over $42,000 to fund canine cancer research. We couldn’t have done it without your support!

Your feedback is necessary so we can continue to provide a quality event. Please take a few moments to fill out this survey.

For more information on the campaign, visit us at http://www.Cure…..Cancer.org. The K9 Cancer Walks are all about Best Friends Helping Best Friends— thank you for helping your best friend!

We just got word that Team Tripawds has raised $870 so far for the Los Gatos walk on Sunday! Yeaaaay!

Thank you so much to everyone who's signed up and given to help Morris end canine cancer. What an incredible group of people we have here, THANK YOU!!!
