That's Dr. Rowe jumping for joy over last year's successful event and in anticipation of this year's bigger and better event!

Mark your calendars for October 20th, 2018!

Participants at Last Year's Local Event
We had 50 people for our first walk!

Over the past year, I've been working to create a true community through Rowe's Research Runners, and now I can't wait to tell you all about our local event.

I hope to see as many of you as possible at this family-friendly, dog-friendly, whatever your ability-friendly event!

Our One Mile Walk/Run/Roll 2017

We are so excited about this year's local event in State College featuring Alliance of Heroic Hearts (a perfect fit for the heroes who care for us and the heroic warriors living with chronic illness)!

We will have face painting, games for the kids and food. Plus, kids under 12 are FREE! 

Dogs are welcome!

Our raffle includes 4 tickets to Happy Valley Improv, an original calligraphy print by Brenda Horner Artworks, and a one hour massage from Dragonfly Therapeutic Massage and Day Spa!

My buddy Bethany :)

In the next few blogs, I'll also be sharing more ways for you to participate, whether it be in Baltimore, in State College or virtually; by being a team member or simply being at the event in State College; or by donating.

However you want to be involved, Rowe's Research Runners welcomes you and thanks you!

We hope to see you on October 20th!

What is Rowe's Research Runners?

The mission of RRR is to fundraise, increase awareness and facilitate connections for people with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), dysautonomia and related illnesses.  

I am thrilled to announce that Rowe's Research Runners is growing and blossoming as we try to reach more people with these illnesses, create awareness and fundraise for Dr. Rowe.

If you've been wondering why I've disappeared from social media and blogging, it's because I've been busy working on Rowe's Research Runners. 

As we approach October, I'm thrilled to unveil the work of the past year, and share with you more about how you can help us achieve our mission!

I am SO excited about this gorgeous logo that communicates the various manifestations of the illness, the hope to go from bedridden to standing, and the forward motion that we hope our group can create!

Stay tuned...

Blessings,

Emily

Monday Dog Blog: National Dog Day

We're not sure if you heard or not, but Sunday was National Dog Day!

Honestly, Mommy says EVERY day is National Dog Day in our house. 

But she DID give us some extra attention.

And promised us she'd settle into the recliner with us and report on the shenanigans of the last few months because we realized she has not been blogging about us. 

What?!

Neglect!

Right?

Okay, you're not buying this neglect thing are you?

Why not?

Because we look like all we do is lounge around on comfy pillows and hang out in the yard?

You're probably right about that!

We invite you to take a look at what's been happening the past few months around here.

Because we think we are great at making people smile.

Especially Mommy....

and Mom.

Some days are just SO hard around here.

I should be pet like this ALL DAY LONG!

We go to pretty places.

And are so tired later!

We move the pillows on the sofa.

We help with 'work'.

We garden.

As you can tell the hard work exhausts us and sometimes Tovah falls asleep in her food bowl!

It's probably all of that bunny-watching she does.

We will wait for Mommy to come back and sit with us!

And are sad when someone leaves to go somewhere.

We read the newspaper with Mom.

And rearrange the bath mat for Mommy.

Sometimes we even snuggle next to one another peacefully!

Gershwin is sad when no one is with him on the recliner.

We got these toys when we passed our Intermediate Trick Dog class!

Tovah loves bunnies!

Mommy wonders how Gershwin finds this comfy.

All day, every day we are a prince and a princess in this house.

Every day is National Dog Day here. Just as it should be.

We are loved beyond measure.

Happy Monday! 

Blessings,

Tovah Rose and Gershwin
