Richard’s Run For Life.
“I feel that our run and other events like it, give patients battling cancer and their families hope,” said Richard Gonzmart with his dog Rusty, accepting the $1,000 raised by The New Barker.
The 11th Annual Richard’s Run For Life raised $80,
000.The 5k had more than 2,000 registered runners, walkers, supporters, volunteers and sponsors who joined together on November 2 in Ybor City’s Centennial Park. Afterwards, everyone was treated to a fabulous spread of delicious food from the Columbia
Restaurant.The New Barker was honored to be one of the sponsors of this year’s event. One hundred percent of the pro- ceeds benefit the Adolescent Young Adult initiative for sarcoma research at H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute. We would like to thank Mark Sembler of HydroDog, Lisa
Posin of Olive’s Way, the Tampa Bay Chihuahua Meet Up Group, Kris Logan-Walker of Fluffy Puppies, Hip Doggie and Heron Cay Lakeview Bed & Breakfast for helping us meet the pledge. Lynne Tonte, with the Tampa Bay Chihuahua Meet Up Group said,“We were happy to help and hope that this shows that our passion for life goes beyond our
pups.All life is pre- cious.”
Life in the Fast Lane. The Ryan Newman Foundation, out of Statesville, North Carolina, gave out $560,000 in grants this past October. It was a tough job for the foundation’s Board of Directors as they reviewed 400 applications between January and June, 2012. “The toughest job is deciding who to help. Everyone in
animal rescue should be commended for their time and compas- sion put into saving animals. I wish we could help everyone,” said the Foundation’s Vice President Krissie Newman, wife of NASCAR driver, Ryan Newman. Several Florida organizations were the recipients of some
of the grant money, including First Coast No More Homeless Pets (
www.FCNMHP.org) in Jacksonville, and the Humane Society of Manatee County (
www.HumaneManatee.org) in Bradenton.
