This is the main fundraiser for this wonderful group founded by Clancy Kress in 2005. Clancy started CFTC after finding out that her best friend Ali's cancer had progressed to stage IV. Ali's Standard Poodle "Molly" had been such a part of her treatment for the last decade of her life. Recognizing the value of this human-animal bond in Ali's treatment, the concept for Critters for the Cure was born. They worked together making CFTC a real resource for women who had all forms of cancer until Ali's own battle ended in 2009. Today, CFTC has grown and works tirelessly to help women who are battling cancer with all kinds of day to day issues. More info can be found at: crittersforthecure.org
