We just got word from the Morris Animal Foundation about an important Canine Cancer fundraising event on September 19th in Estes Park, Colorado:

"More than six million dogs are diagnosed with cancer each year. Join us on September 19th at 8 am on the beautiful Lake Estes Trail beginning at Stanley Park in Estes Park, Colorado and walk for a cure! 100% of all walk registration fees, vendor fees and donations go directly to support Morris Animal Foundation's Canine Cancer Campaign to fund research for canine cancer, early detection methods, effective treatments and ultimately a cure!

Walk registration and check in begins at 8 am. The Lake Estes Trail is approximately 4 miles, walk all or part of the trail with or without a dog. After the walk, speakers will discuss canine cancer, prevention, wellness and other topics. Visit the vendor booths and exhibits. Early walk registration fee: $25 Adults (postmarked by 9/12/2009); Walk day registration: $30 adult, $10 Child (10 years or older). Download a form here.
