Hi - I am Quincy, the official Ambassador of Kenmure Fights Cancer. As my logo says, iBark4Them!

This will be my third year as Ambassador. I get to wear my special vest and get my picture taken at our events and with donors.

This year I will be working with Karen Skelton, who handles our Publicity. She and I will enjoy sending emails and keeping you apprised of what's going on. (Are you impressed that I can use fancy words like "apprised"? I hate to brag, but I'm getting pretty good at this people speak, if I do say so myself.)

For those of you who are new to Kenmure, here's how I came to be the Kenmure Fights Cancer Ambassador.

In 2013 I traveled across the country with my human parents, Mike and Georgie Farmer. Dad rode his bike all the way - at the AMAZING age of 70! Mom and I were his support team. It was lots of fun and we raised lots of money for Kenmure Fights Cancer.

At that time, I thought I was on the way to becoming a Guide Dog, but that was not to be. Turns out I am a "psychogenic water drinker." What's that? I won't go into all the details here, but you can read about it in my Dad's blog. Bottom line - I LOVE drinking water and what goes in must come out, entailing too many potty stops for a blind person to handle.

So, just as I was digesting the news that I didn't make the cut as a Guide Dog, I received a proposition from the folks at Kenmure Fights Cancer. They asked me to represent them and get my picture taken with the committee, the folks at Pardee and Park Ridge and donors to the awesome Treasure Trove raffle, to name a few. I answered with big WOOF! (That's YES! in human speak).

I am very proud of my special vest. It was made by my friends Miss Beckie (Ouderkirk) and Miss Patty (Truax) and my Mom. It has the Kenmure Fights Cancer logo on it and you have to admit, I do look quite handsome in it.

So, next time you see Miss Beckie and Miss Patty and Mom, please tell them what a great job they did - and be on the lookout for me at Kenmure Fights Cancer events.

See you soon, I hope.       Quincy
