RUN for OZZY
Ozzy helped me get ready for every race I ran while he was alive. Regardless of the time of day or weather conditions, he would go out and train with me for 1-3 miles daily (sometimes more), in an effort to get me ready for my next marathon. The "Run for Ozzy" is a 1.5 mile run/walk that will be held in his honor, to get dogs (and their significant human owners/caretakers) out exercising and socializing. The event is a fundraiser as well as an exhibition for dogs lovers, cancer survivors, and the Veterinary personnel that help us care for them. Please come out and join us for this tail wagging and fun filled day.
Participants will be limited to 314 dogs per event (One dog for every day Ozzy fought Cancer). All participants will receive a handkerchief for our "four legged friends" and an event t-shirt for our "two legged companions." **All Cancer Surviving or currently treated dogs will receive a special commemorative handkerchief honoring your fight against this disease.
US Park Police K-9, Metro Transit Police K-9, Fairfax County Police K-9, Alexandria Police K-9, USMC Military Police K-9 will be on hand and will perform LIVE demonstrations. Come out and help us salute these amazing working dogs.
There will be an agility course and Frisbee toss competition for the sporting dogs, as well as a "Best 
Costume Competition" that will voted on by the howls and barks our our furry friends and the cheers of the crowd. So get creative, dress up and come on out and strut your stuff!
**If you would like to host a "RUN for OZZY" event in your hometown, please contact me at john@theozzyfoundation.org. All profits for the event will go to your local vets that treat canine cancers and the Animal Shelters that take care of our homeless furry friends.
