What do we do
The Foundation was created in 2012 by William Messner, to ultimately help find the cure for DM, the disease that took his beloved Shannon from him and to help those who are going through, or have gone through what he did.
The legacy is continued to this day by unpaid volunteers who have also experienced the insidious disease of DM with their own precious dogs. The ambition is no less now, to create greater Awareness and Education about DM, and raise more funding for more research to eventually one day
put an end to the heartbreaking disease of Degenerative Myelopathy
