First Annual Forrest Gumpy Walk For Canine Cancer

First Annual Forrest Gumpy Walk
For Canine Cancer
May 3 2009

DONATE TO A GREAT CAUSE HERE

On February 22, 2009 I lost my best friend Forrest Gumpy to Canine Lymphoma. Forrest Gumpy or Gumpy as we called him fought for an amazing 16 months and during that time he became a little star. While on Chemotherapy Gumpy earned 6 Dock Diving Championship wins, was featured in many newspapers, magazines and local news. He was even on the David Letterman Show. He was known for his huge jumps, crazy antics on and off the dock and for his fighting spirit. He really was the little dog who could.
In honor of his memory and great fighting spirit I am organizing a walk in his name to raise funds for the Chase Away K9 Cancer Fund. There are more and more dogs being diagnosed with Canine Cancer every
day. We all think that my dog is healthy and young so it will not happen to me..Well I though the same thing. Forrest Gumpy was only 4.5 years old when he was diagnosed!.. This is why we need to raise funds for research so that someday there will be a cure for Canine Cancer and no other kids will loose their best friend before their time. I am asking that all the Dock Dog clubs join me on May 3, 2009 and walk in memory of Gumpy. If we all join together we can fight this. So get your members together on May 3 at the location of our choice. You pick the distance, (here in Ontario we are doing a 3km walk) Have lots of laughs and good times and best of all lets walk for Gumpy, Chase and all the other’s that have been lost. Best of all, let’s raise funds for Chase Away K9 Cancer!

The Ontario Dock Dogs Club will be meeting at Burgoyne Woods St. Catharines. This is a stunning park with lots to do including a fenced in off leash park. We will be having a Pot Luck BB-Q (hot dogs and hamburgers provided) , games and prizes after the walk.
