Man's Best Friend Leads Fight Against Cancer at Kate Sessions

The American Cancer Society is hosting Bark for Life, a dog walk benefitting cancer research.

The Relay for Life is an event for people who hope to find a cure for cancer. But what if man’s best friend wants to get involved?

The American Cancer Society has answered this question with the Bark for Life, a dog walk benefitting the society’s cancer research.

Human participants commit to raising $100 for the society’s cancer research. Both two and four-legged participants walk one mile in their support for finding a cure and spend the rest of the day with activities including an agility course, dog beach and vendor fair.
