Take a Walk, Fight Cancer at The South Florida K9 Cancer Walk

Walking your dog is always great exercise for you and your pet, but on Sunday, January 24, your daily walk can be so much more. In fact, by joining Morris Animal Foundation for its South Florida K9 Cancer Walk, your walk can help fight canine cancer.

Many dog lovers have lost a beloved canine companion to cancer, or have a friend or family member who has lost a pet to this terrible disease. In fact, each year, more than 6 million new cases of cancer are diagnosed in dogs. By walking in the South Florida K9 Cancer Walk, you can help give dogs a paw up on cancer by raising funds that support canine cancer research. By encouraging others to walk, or support your walk with a gift, you can grow your impact beyond two feet and four paws.
