Our second annual Moxie’s Run 5k run/walk will take place on Sunday September 29th this year! It would really mean the world to us if you can make this event.
As some of you may know, my Beagle Moxie passed away on August 2, 2019. It was the most heartbreaking moment of my entire life. I was one of those people who said “She’s almost 10 years old and acts like a puppy. I think she’s going to live until 17!” This was all immediately taken away from me when she had a serious seizure for the first time ever on January 1, 2019. When I took her in for a scan, they told me she not only had a Brain Tumour, but a Thyroid Tumour as well. Her health quickly declined and I lost her a few months after her diagnosis. She passed away 2 days after her 10th birthday.
Since her passing, we wanted to host an event to raise awareness and funding for Canine Cancer. The proceeds would go towards families who are struggling with financing treatment for their dogs, and to advance research.
The Moxie Run For Canine Cancer will be a 5k Run/Walk event. We will have limited spots available for people who want to include their dogs in the event. If your dogs don’t know us, they may need to pass a temperament evaluation.
We have some big goals for this event and really hope you can help us achieve them. The event will take place at Bruce’s Mill in Stouffville at 9am.

We will start with a neighbourhood walk (30min) near the venue and return for a drink and food if they have food vendors available. You must pre-register to attend. Anyone who has previously worked with us is welcome. We are excited to see you all again!

🐶 No judging other dogs and owners
🐶 No petting unknown dogs without owner’s permission
