Join us on Sunday, October 24, 2010 from 8:00-11:30 a.m. for the Paws for the Cause, a dog-walk around Fox Chase Cancer Center's campus. Each year hundreds of dogs and their owners make their way to the Northeast Philadelphia campus for this event and to pitch in on the effort to stop cancer. Participants get to enjoy a one-mile walk, compete in contests to win great prizes, and more than anything spend quality time with their four-legged friends.
For more information, click here or contact Linda and Bob Devlin at info@devlinfund.org.
Thanks for your continued interest in Love Versus Cancer. We truly appreciate your support.
 
Sincerely,

The Love Versus Cancer team
