Charleston, S.C. - Five years ago, Mount Pleasant resident Jane Hirsch created Trot for the Cure to help raise money for canine cancer research after her Australian Sheppard, Rafter, was diagnosed with bone cancer.

Happening this Sunday at 11 a.m. at Magnolia Plantation, Trot for the Cure is an event that includes a walk through the gardens with your dog, entertainment by the Dixie Dancing Dogs who perform canine freestyle and tricks, a talk on canine cancer issues by Veterinary Oncologist Nicole Northrup, a question/answer session with a panel of veterinary specialists - oncologists, neurologists, ophthalmologists, internists, general practitioners and nutritionists, a delicious barbecue by Southern Que-N-Stew, and an exciting raffle.

All proceeds go to the cancer research fund at the University of Georgia Veterinary Hospital where many Lowcountry pets are referred for treatments.
