WHO LET THE DOGS OUT?
|
For the first time ever, there were NO DOGS on the Funding
Needed page for two weeks at the
Magic Bullet
Fund. By the time this newsletter reaches you, there may be new dogs on
that
page, so please take a peek. Thanks to the fund's wonderful sponsors,
fundraising goals for all of the MBF dogs have been met and they will
all be able to complete
their treatments. Read more about them on the All Funds
Raised page.
Thank you for supporting the Magic Bullet Fund's efforts. Thanks to all
who helped so
many beautiful MBF dogs survive cancer.

MAKE A DIFFERENCE
On May 31,
2009, Paws4Acure.org
held its 2nd annual fundraising event. All
proceeds are on their way here, to help the Magic Bullet Fund dogs.
Founder Keri Goldman more than tripled last year’s success, and raised
more than $10,000. Plans for disbursement of the funds are under
discussion
and will be posted on the Contributor’s page of the site once agreed
upon. Thank you to Keri and to all
of our contributors.
Every
donation, large or small,
gets a dog closer to the finish line!

SOY AND THE CANCER
BATTLE
New
studies by researchers at North Carolina State University are finding
that the use of a special molecule in soy may provide a boost in the
battle against cancer in canines. The hope is that this inexpensive
supplement can help traditional chemotherapy treatments work more
efficiently and faster. More information is available in the article
from Science Daily here.

MEET
YOUR
MBF NEWSLETTER EDITOR
The production of the MBF
Newsletter is a
volunteer effort, and I am that volunteer! I
produce Let's
Make Magic to keep you informed of newsworthy events
"behind the scenes" at the Magic Bullet Fund. My name is Cindy and you can see a
photo here of me and a previous assistant Brinkley. If you have any
comments or questions
for me about the newsletter, please write to me at MagicBulletFund.Cindy@gmail.com.
Cindy found her way to MBF a year ago seeking a way to
honor the recent loss of her beloved Gabriel after his arduous battle
with cancer. Having lost three previous dogs to cancer, Cindy knows
that the pain and the costs involved can be daunting if not unbearable.
MBF offered a way for her to give back in the hopes that others can
fight and win the battle of survival for their furry friends.
