Ted Schneck describes his mission:

It was 11:00 A.M. on a Tuesday, in March 2007, when I got the phone call that changed my life. It was the vet, calling to tell me that the bump we’d noticed in my dog Marty’s mouth was, indeed, the late stages of full blown cancer.

And so began my journey into the world of Canine Cancer care.

Because as much as the vets tried to convince me that Marty had only 3 - 6 months to live, max - I was lucky to have some friends who knew better. They taught me natural treatments that helped me care for Marty and keep him strong and healthy for almost 18 months - amazing “bonus time” that I got to spend with my friend and companion of 8-1/2 years. And with Marty’s success I began my journey as a dog cancer author and mentor. I wrote the book Curing Canine Cancer as my “one stop” guide to teach other dog owners what we’d learned, and help them care for their dogs in need.

Until then I was just your average “Corporate Lawyer… turned Massage Therapist… turned Internet Marketer” (you know us, a dime a dozen - from Michigan Law School, the Harvard Kennedy School of Government and one of the top law firms in the country… to giving massages at day spas and typing away on my laptop computer at Starbucks coffee houses in my hometown of Portland Oregon - Trust me, my mother wasn’t exactly thrilled…).

Now I was Working for a Higher Cause

But now I was working for a higher cause. Helping, as best I can, dog owners face their own times of need and despair. And loving that I could help, and the grateful messages I receive in the process. (Last Thanksgiving, one of my clients actually wrote to tell me that “this Thanksgiving we’re giving thanks FOR YOU - and all that you’ve done to help us with our dog… ” Now that’s cool!)

But as many people as I can help, the same problem keeps coming up over and over again - Clients who desperately want to help their dogs - to give them the same chances that I gave Marty - but who simply can’t afford to pay for their dog’s care.

So, while I’d do my best to console them, donate a copy of my book “Curing Canine Cancer” to their dog’s care, and point them to the few, underfunded charities that they could petition for assistance - I finally decided that I needed to do something about it…

I Finally Decided That I Needed to
Do Something About It

And that’s why I’m riding this summer across America - 4,281 miles in 82 days - Pacific to Atlantic - to raise money to help these dogs - these sweet innocent victims of this terrible disease - get the care they deserve.
