Meet SunKnee – this year’s Walk4ALZ Mascot!
SunKnee is a 7-year-old Bichon Poodle mix. His loving dog mama, Angela, has worked full-time as a caregiver since 1997. She started as a volunteer and fell in love with the occupation. Helping people living with dementia is a cause near and dear to her heart, so it’s no surprise she and Team Beeba are proud supporters of the Walk4ALZ.
Angela was given SunKnee when he was only 4 months old, and they’ve had a special bond ever since.
SunKnee will be one of many furry friends at the Walk at Balboa Park on October 19th. Dogs are welcome, and there will even be a special meet-up area for them near the Traci’s Paws booth! SunKnee will officially start the walk and help Angela judge the pet costume contest.
