Jesus-Looking Man Bike Rides His Way to Dog Cancer Messiah-ship

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va., Sept. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- "It's estimated that 1 of
every 4 dogs will get cancer -- that's almost 18 million dogs. And the worst
thing is having to stand there and watch ... knowing there are things you can
do to help, but just not having the money to do anything," says
http://www.DogCancerRide.com founder, Ted Schneck.
Dogs and dog lovers across the United States are applauding Schneck and
his "Dog Cancer Ride Across America" -- an effort to raise awareness and
donations for charities that benefit cancer stricken dogs and their loyal
owners. Funds raised benefit owners who can't afford the costly treatments
that can help save their dogs.
Schneck knows how it feels to lose a pet to cancer. In 2006, his beloved
pet Marty (the "Wonderdog"), was diagnosed with cancer. Though doctors
predicted Marty would be gone within 3 months, Schneck, with the help of
friends, applied a ground breaking holistic plan involving supplements,
nutrition and natural remedies. Miraculously, Ted and Marty got to spend 18
more joy-filled months together.
Armed with the knowledge that there were humane, successful ways to treat
canine cancer, Ted set out to share this information with as many individuals
as he could. His e-book, Curing Canine Cancer, has been read and embraced
worldwide, and his special reports on dog cancer care have helped thousands of
dog owners care for their dogs. For all dog lovers, Schneck shares actions
that help prevent dog cancer.
"I started getting letters from clients, desperate to help their dogs.
They wanted to do these treatments that were helping dogs live so much longer,
but they just couldn't afford it. One man wrote to beg me for help. He was
manic-depressive, on social security, and his dog had been with him through
homelessness, divorce, and the worst times of his life. When his dog was
first diagnosed with cancer, he'd sold his only transportation, his truck, to
get his dog the surgery she needed. But now the cancer was back and he had
nothing left to sell. Nothing to do but lie, curled up each night, praying
for a miracle and not knowing what he'd do once he lost his dog -- the only
thing he had left in life," says Schneck.
Somebody needed to do something to help people like this ... Schneck
decided that somebody would be him.
Since May 25th, he's been riding his bicycle cross-country as the last
best hope for dogs whose owners can't afford to give them the care they need.
Schneck has raised over $15,000 for dog cancer charities through his
website and through the online "Map of Heroes," where owners can donate and
sponsor a spot on the map to pay tribute their Dog Hero (sick or healthy,
living or passed) while helping sick dogs get the Cancer Care they deserve.
And as the ride nears its end, Schneck is working to get 10,000 dog lovers
to take 30-seconds to send a small token of their support for him and the
dogs -- by mailing $1, a Single Dollar Bill, to the Dog Cancer Ride Across
America's parent charity, Giving Globally (an Oregon based 501(c)(3)).
$1 Donations can be mailed to:

Giving Globally - Dog Cancer Ride
6443 SW Beaverton-Hillsdale Hwy., Suite 370
Portland, Oregon 97221

Or donated online through the website at

"We're not trying to change the world. We're just riding to give these
dogs, and their owners, the chance they deserve," concludes Schneck.

Schneck and his bicycle left the Oregon Coast on May 25th and since then
have ridden 4,281 miles -- arriving at his final route destination in Virginia
Beach on Wednesday, September 3rd. Upon arrival, Schneck will commence an
"Encore" ride up the Atlantic coast -- with a scheduled arrival in New York
City on Tuesday, September 9th.
