Bark For Life: A Great Way to Get Involved

2 On May 15, 2016, The American Cancer Society will be hosting its 1st annual Orange County s Bark For Life at Wallkill Circleville Park from 9am 1pm. Bark For Life is an American Cancer Society fundraising event that honors canine companions and their unconditional love. All money raised will be donated to the American Cancer Society for cancer research and for the benefit of current cancer patients. I know firsthand the value of research. I am a survivor and a care giver and living proof that research helps find cures. I am a 5 year survivor of two different cancers and if research hadn't been done on kidney cancer I probably would have a much shorter life expectancy. If not for careful monitoring, cancer in my appendix (about 100 cases a year of this) would have not been found and the cancer may have spread. As a caregiver I lost my mom, others I have loved and 2 beloved dogs. I am passionate to help find a cure not only for us humans but also for our 4 legged family members (dogs, cats, horses, etc.). Bark For Life is a fun-filled day that starts with a non-competitive one-mile dog walk, and continues with demonstrations, activities, games and entertainment. Our Bark For Life event honors the life-long contribution of canine caregivers. It presents an opportunity for people to be empowered through their canine companion partnerships and to contribute to the fight against cancer. Canine caregivers are canine companions, guide dogs, service dogs, rescue dogs, therapy dogs, police dogs, cancer survivor dogs, and diagnostic dogs. They, with their owners, are joining the American Cancer Society to celebrate cancer survivorship; to honor those lost to cancer; to fundraise in support of cancer research, education, awareness, patient services, and advocacy; and to help eliminate the suffering that cancer causes worldwide. Canine companions represent unconditional love, joy, security, compassion, and no judgments of human abilities or appearances. The American Cancer Society Bark For Life is an incredible way to take a bite out of cancer, smile, and make new friends canine and human. All proceeds benefit American Cancer Society programs and services. Sponsorship is a wonderful opportunity to reach active Bark For Life participants and the public by contributing to the fight against cancer. Your association with the American Cancer Society, the largest voluntary health organization in the world, will enhance your image as a caring member of our community. Please join us as we become known as a community that has taken up the fight against cancer! Thank you for your consideration and generosity. Sincerely, Terry Meyer Event Lead, Bark For Life of Orange County tmmeyer4@gmail.com
