The Hank Kabel Sarcoma Foundation is a 501(c)3 organization whose goal is to raise money and awareness for canine cancer. By participating in Hank's race, you are not only raising money for dogs with cancer, but also for people with cancer, since clinical trials in dogs help decide medicines that are effective in human cancers as well. Cancer is the leading non-accidental cause of death in dogs, with one in three dogs being diagnosed and 50 percent dying from the disease (Veterinary Diagnosis Institute, 2012).
