Save-An-Angel was originally formed to cure a dog named Angel’s cancer.  Angel was more than just our pet, she was family, and the flower girl in our wedding.  When we received her lymphoma diagnosis, she was given just 6 months to live with chemo therapy alone.  Her only chance for a cure was a canine bone marrow transplant; the cost $16,000.  We gave up our wedding rings and honeymoon to pay for chemo therapy and in 6 months we raised the $16,000 for Angel to receive her life saving treatment at North Carolina State University.  She is 100% cancer free to this day!  Save-An-Angel continues as part of our oath to change the world through positivity, action and hope in our mission and vision for a better future.
