Porsche Gordon Memorial Prize for Oncology Research [C1151]

Porsche was a little dog with a vibrant personality who brought much joy and laughter to the Gordon home and to everyone who knew her, especially her best friend Moxie. Although her early years were difficult with malnutrition and abuse, when Porsche finally found her “forever home,” she never complained, wanting only to be loved by all those around her.
