In late August 2025, my nine-year-old boxer, Ryker, was diagnosed with cancer. On February 7, 2026, he lost his battle and passed away.

To honor Ryker’s life and the love he gave so freely, my other dog, Archie, and I are walking 31 miles in his memory to support the American Cancer Society’s fight for a world without cancer.

The American Cancer Society is a highly trusted organization, holding top ratings from Charity Navigator, the Better Business Bureau Wise Giving Alliance, and Candid. Every donation helps fund critical research, patient support, and hope for families facing cancer.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness, generosity, and support as we walk in Ryker’s honor.
