Puppy Up! Lake Norman walk
November 9, 2013 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
The 2013 Puppy Up! Lake Norman walk at Jetton Park on Saturday, Nov. 9, will raise awareness of canine cancer and bring in funds for 2milliondogs.org and canine cancer research.
Registration begins at 9am, with the walk at 10am at the park, off Jetton Road, Cornelius. Festivities continue until noon, including a balloon release, live music, photos with Santa, silent auction, and Sunrise Grill & Sandwich Co. food truck. There also will be a prize drawing for airline tickets.
Organizers said 2milliondogs began with a promise to raise awareness of canine cancer one mile, one city, and one person at time. Luke Robinson with his two dogs walked 2000 miles from Austin to Boston to fulfill the promise he made to his dog Malcolm who died of cancer.
About 50 walkers had signed up as of Saturday, Nov. 2, raising about $7,000, and organizers are hoping to push the number higher.
