After a long battle with metastatic bone cancer I lost my dog, Malcolm, in 2006. Though he wasn't my blood he was my boy and his loss inspired me to commit my life to eradicating this dreadful disease.
So in March 2008 I sold my truck, put my stuff into storage and my two dogs, Hudson & Murphy, set off on a cross country trek from Austin to Boston to share our story. Here's the video that started it all
WHERE ARE WE?
Hudson & Murphy (affectionately known to all as "The Fuzzybutts") and I have walked across 13 states and are currently in New York City. We've got about 250 miles left and are scheduled to arrive in Boston the weekend of June 18th.
This walk is just the first step of a lifelong commitment and we're in the process of launching phase II: 2 Million Dogs which was conceived on the simple belief that if 2 dogs can walk 2,000 miles we can get 2 million dogs to walk 2 miles for cancer.
To find out where we're at, read stories of our travels, and see photos, friend us on Facebook follow us on Twitter and check out our blog.
