Observing Community

I guess the CVM here doesn't do a whole lot of community events, I had to look in the upcoming events and I will talk about it. The 3rd annunal IRONDOG 5K run is coming up in about 2 weeks to raise money for owners who are finacially unable to provide medical care for their companions. It's like any other 5K trying to raise money, the members raises pledges for completion of the run and the funds will be used to support the medical and surgical management of cats and dogs at the Michigan State Veterinary Teaching hospital. As I looked back on the past runs, I see that anywhere from 500 to 600 people have participated in it and they raised $10,000. It shows that people care about others and animals and like to help, or maybe they just like to run. Ha, but anyway, there really isn't that much to say other than I can assume that by taking a day out of their own schedule to help raise money for people that wouldn't be able to provide otherwise means that there are some caring people in the world.
