Let me introduce myself to everyone on this forum.
My name is Terry Simons and I started a canine cancer foundation because I lost my heart and soul dog, Reveille to lymphoma.
An educated dog owner, I did all I could for Reveille but soon discovered that even though lymphoma is one of the most common cancers in dogs, accurate information regarding options and treatment can be elusive. I connected with professionals that helped me choose the best path for my beloved companion.
Reveille competed in dog agility throughout her treatment and in fact thrived, having the best agility year of her career. When I chose to let Reveille go, one year and a week after her diagnosis, I knew I was making the right decision for her.
Grief can do strange things, it can destroy and it can inspire. In the case of Reveille, the realization that I may lose Reveille at any time inspired me to form CLEAR (Canine Lymphoma Education Awareness and Research), a cancer foundation dedicated to providing information, resources and research into the devastating disease. Reveille's legacy is to ensure that dog owners know their options thereby being empowered advocates of their four-legged family members.
We are having our 2nd Annual Fundraiser and Premiere on November 1, 2014. The premiere is of the documentary "My Friend: Changing the Journey" is a ground-breaking documentary that will take dog lovers on their own informative journey of awareness and hope as it weaves interviews from highly respected Oncologists, Veterinarians and Canine Care Professionals throughout three inspiring stories of dogs who are battling lymphoma and in some cases even beat the disease.
