Help 14-Year Old Girl Fight K9 Cancer

Hello Everyone,

My name is Sarah-Simone and I am a Young Handler with the Ontario Dock Dogs. This fall one of my best friends was struck with an illness that no kid wants to hear. Forrest Gumpy had stage 4 lymphoma/cancer. Gumpy is only 5 years old and is a rescue that has had nothing but a hard life for 4 years. Now he has to fight once again.

Sarah Simone Since Gumpy's diagnosis I have decided to do what I can to raise fund for the Chase Away K9 Cancer Fund so that no other kid has to face this battle with their best friend. My goal for this year is to raise $1,000.00 by October 2008. This is the date of Gumpy's diagnosis.

On May 5th I am going to be turning 14 years old and I wanted to come up with a fun way to spend my birthday (other than Dock Diving lol). After thinking about it for a few days I came up with a really fun idea...

I am setting up a Chase Away K9 Cancer Challenge!!!! I want to see how many cards I can collect from all over the DockDogs World with $1.00 in it by May 5 (you can add more if you want). All the money will go to the Chase Away Fund...I am also asking my family not to give gifts but to make a donation instead. I can't think of a better way to spend my birthday than helping dogs like Forrest Gumpy fight cancer.

Cards can be sent to (make checks payable to ACVIM Foundation):
Chase Away Challenge

Thank you all in advance,
Sarah Simone and Forrest Gumpy

UPDATE! We are thrilled to announce that Sarah-Simone has already passed her goal of raising $1,000 by October! She has now increased her goal to $2,000!

Congratulations to Sarah-Simone and Gumpy and thank you for helping us Chase Away K9 Cancer!
