Chicks Love Beer
www.chickslovebeer.com
Beth Bates is a professional blogger and digital marketer, so starting a blog seemed the logical way to share her love of beer. Beth is also president and founder at GoodDogz.org, Inc, a non-profit organization dedicated to educating potential dog owners on dog selection and care and supporting the efforts of rescue groups. GoodDogz believes that by assisting with good dog-owner matches, it will give each family the best opportunity for a life-long relationship with their new dog and help to keep dogs out of shelters. Beth will be blogging in honor of Hugo, her mastiff who was diagnosed with cancer a year ago.
Daisy and Bob's Blog
blog.everythingandthedog.com
Lydia Best the owner of Everything and The Dog, a pet sitting and dog walking service that employs over 100 dog walkers throughout Northern VA. Best became involved with 2 Dogs 2000 Miles (now 2 Million Dogs) after her own dog, Princess Daisy, was diagnosed with a heart-based tumor in 2008. Daisy went on to be the first “Cancer Can't Keep a Good Dog Down” Calendar cover dog in 2009 after she lost her battle to cancer.
The Benefit:
Our fund raising efforts will benefit a new hope in cancer research and the 2 Million Dogs Foundation. Founded by Luke Robinson, the 2 Million Dogs Foundation is committed to discovering the common links between canine and human cancers and the causes of these cancers through comparative oncology research. You might remember Luke as the man who walked from Austin to Boston with his two Great Pyrenees dogs Hudson and Murphy to raise awareness and find an end to canine cancer.
The mission of 2 Millions Dogs Foundation (www.2milliondogs.org):
Education and Awareness: The field of comparative oncology is relatively new and 2 Million Dogs will educate people about its tremendous potential through a global campaign of strategic partnerships, seminars, speaking engagements, social media, events, broadcasts, and other forms of media.
Empowerment and Mobilization: Through The Puppy Up! Walk, we are building the largest pet and people cancer community in the world; from business people to artists to scientists and humanitarians, a partnership forged with the singular purpose of ridding the world of its deadliest disease.
Investment in Research: 2 Million Dogs scientific objectives are: Broadening our understanding of the links between human and companion animal cancer, creating a cross institutional collaborative platform, developing new approaches to research, and funding translational cancer studies that benefit both pets and people.
