Help Clarence Kick Cancer

Clarence is an Austin, TX dog battling bladder cancer, or TCC.  His story has already touched many and we hope he can be an inspiration to others dealing with canine cancer. 

Clarence's mom is an artist and is part of an amazing group of artist friends who have begun to rally around Clarence.  This group decided they wanted to help and suggested Clarence get his story out there and let people participate in his journey. In return they have donated some of their fabulous goods as rewards for Clarence's Champs.
So here we are. Let the journey continue. 

We will keep the updates coming but here's Clarence's time line so far -

October 2012 - after finding blood in his urine and exploring the possibility of a bladder infection, Clarence was finally diagnosed with TCC.
