Help build bridges to fight diseases like cancer, epilepsy, dementia, cushings, diabetes--there are nearly 400 diseases affecting humans and dogs...Cats share 190 diseases with us...Fifteen diseases between us and Quail...1,500 illnesses with animals. Please help Paws To People meet the challenge to move closer to defeating catastrophic diseases like dementia, epilepsy, cancer and diabetes this y
ear. Translational/Comparative studies research (and its connection to both people and pets) is critical if we dare to dream of a world where these catastrophic diseases no longer have the power to cut short the lives of our children, our parents, and our pets. Five Reasons To Support the Paws To People Organization
1. Translational/Comparative Studies provide the unifying hope to unlocking clues and solutions that eliminate and cure major diseases.
2. Paws to People is the only national organization to focus on seed funding to tackle critical illnesses like Lyme Disease that are underfunded and little understood in both human and animal medicine.
3. We walk our talk! In just three years, Paws To People has awarded research grants to improve the testing efficiency for Lyme Disease in dogs (2015, Dr. Jenna Mendell, Bridgewater State University) and our 2016 grant to explore how end of life decisions are reached and how we can help facilitate better information sharing (Dr. Roschelle Heuberger, Central Michigan University).
4. Your donation dollars go directly toward compassionate research utilizing our pets shared experiences and environments, critical factors when looking for patterns and causality.
5. Paws To People provides a direct, reallife way to make a difference. We maximize research funding while keeping other costs low.
