a friend called today. She is five and a half years out from a glioblastoma diagnosis. I was beyond thrilled to hear from her. Her last scan was stable. She is living life.

It’s getting cold in Ukraine 🥶 so we are building Hachiko shelters for homeless pets in frontline areas. Purina is sponsoring the first 30, along with 200 carriers we can give families for evacuations. If you want to help build more shelters, donate at hachikofoundation.org 🙏
