My first corgi, Truman, was in the study that identified the SOD1 gene. I promised him that I would do everything I could to fight this disease. I have now lost a total of 4 corgis to DM. In honor of: Truman, Maggie, Sophie and Jorja (all Pembroke Welsh Corgis)
Built on a promise made from love, and strengthened by the memory of my four angel corgis who inspired this fight, Truman’s Team of Warriors joins the RACE to help advocate, support, and shine a light on every DM journey.
We are their voice! 💜 No pup should suffer from Degenerative Myelopathy, and no pawrent should have to watch their beloved companion lose their mobility. Together, we can #ShadeOutDM - but we need your voice, your heart, and your help to make it happen. 🐾
This is our 7th Annual RACE and our fifth year as an official 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Every team, every mile, every share helps us reach more people and more pups.
Our mission:
- 🐶 Honor pups currently on this journey or remember those we’ve lost.
- 🤝 Support other owners through our #ShadeOutDM member support group on Facebook.
- 📚 Educate the public that DM can be prevented through responsible breeding and proper health testing before breeding.
- 💌 Raise funds for our Loaner Cart Program and mission efforts - attending events, veterinary conferences, and shipping awareness materials across the globe to “bark out loud” for the pups.
We’re so excited you’ve joined us and can’t wait to see how far and wide our message will travel this year! 🌊🐾
