2 Million Dogs Illinois Puppy Up! Walk for Canine Cancer

It began with a promise to raise awareness of canine cancer one mile, one city, and one person at time. Luke Robinson with his two dogs walked 2000 miles from Austin to Boston to fulfill the promise he made to his dog Malcolm who died from this horrible disease. 


2 Million Dogs was formed on the belief that if 2 dogs can walk 2000 miles to bring awareness to cancer surely 2 million dogs can walk 2 miles. Our mission benefits the study of canine cancer and comparative oncology.

Be a part of history this November 6th as thousands in cities all across America join in on the promise to 
bring awareness to cancer.
