2013 Puppy Up! Baltimore 1st Annual Walk to raise awareness and funds for comparative cancer research!

After Luke Robinson lost his Great Pyrenees Malcolm to cancer in 2008, he walked 2,000 miles from Austin to Boston, traveling with his two remaining dogs, Hudson & Murphy, to share Malcolm's story and educate people about cancer in dogs. Luke was driven by his desire to fulfill the promise he made to his dog Malcolm, who died from this horrible disease, to raise awareness of canine cancer one mile, one city, and one person at a time. So began a nationwide grassroots movement. Luke Robinson had a vision: 2,000,000 dogs walking simultaneously for two miles all across the United States for cancer awareness. If 2 dogs could walk over 2,000 miles, surely it was possible!


The 2 Million Dogs Foundation is committed to discovering the common links between canine and human cancers and the causes of these cancers through comparative oncology research.


Through the Puppy Up! Walk, we are building the largest pet and people cancer community in the world which includes business people, artists, scientists and humanitarians. This partnership is forged with the singular purpose of ridding the world of its deadliest disease.
