Meet your Planner Pups
Lizzie
Hi friends! My name is Lizzie and I’m 6-year-old Corgi. It might sound cliché, but my absolute favorite toy is a plush corgi-butt that squeaks and peanut butter treats!
Winnie
Woof woof friends! I’m Winnie, a 3-year-old Aussiedoodle. My favorite things are butt scratches, rough housing with my little sis and staring deep into your soul with my human eyes.
Wallie
Hi, I’m Wallie, a 1-year-old mini version of my sister Winnie. My favorite things are snuggling with my mom, bounding around the yard like a bunny, and giving kisses.
Marley
Howdy! I’m Marley, a 6-year-old mini Golden Doodle. I love snuggling with my mom and sister, napping on the couch like a catdog, and running to my best friend’s house for treats.
Leo
Heyooo! I'm Leo, a 5-year-old Shih Tzu who’s pretty sure I'm human. My favorite things are tiny squeaky toys, hot dogs, and hanging out with my Mom.
Mila
Oh... hello! I'm Mila, a 4-year-old Pitty Mix. I love golf cart rides, chewing on my fur-friends' ears, and most importantly, being a big sis to my new human baby brother.
Meet your human Planners
Amanda Bradham-Little
Diagnosed on World MS Day in 2019, Amanda’s first symptom (Optic Neuritis) developed the day before her first day at her new job Pace Properties/Avison Young. With her world rocked, she reached out to the National MS Society as a lifeline and found the resources and connections she needed to find help and carve out a new path. Determined not to sit on the sidelines of illness, Amanda became involved with the NMSS by joining her local chapter's Walk MS committee and forming a Walk MS team, and in October 2020, she joined the NMSS Gateway Chapter’s Board of Trustees. Since 2020, Amanda was recognized this year as a National MS Society’s Persons of Courage for her efforts having raised more than $225,000. She and her husband Jason have a five-year-old Shih Tzu named Leo Little and think Bar K is better than Disney World.
Stephanie Eichmeyer
A fierce supporter of her MS Warrior friends, Stephanie is proud to raise awareness and donations for this important cause. Stephanie and her employer, Brinkmann Constructors, began supporting Walk MS several years ago and are passionate about helping advance MS research and finding a cure. Stephanie, her three-year-old blue merle Aussiedoodle Winnie, and one-year-old red merle mini Aussiedoodle Wallie are Bar K members. You'll find Winnie running around the turf at full speed, and Wallie on the table asking for pets from all the hoomans.
Tori McLeod
In February of 2021, Tori received a call from her ENT doctor after having her sinuses scanned. The doctor told her the radiologist saw abnormalities in her brain he thought were lesions and could be associated with MS. She went to a neurologist and was diagnosed in March of 2021. The first year of the diagnosis was the hardest, and Tori was looking for a support group and reconnected with Amanda who she knew through working in the event industry. Tori joined the Walk MS committee and formed her own walk team in St. Louis and Kansas City. She and her husband Dylan and their new baby boy live in Shaw and are regulars at Bar K with their four-year-old pitty mix named Mila.
Amy Doggendorf
Another fierce supporter of her friends living with MS, Amy has been volunteering and supporting Paws for a Cause since its inception and has been a vital part of the work done to have a world free of MS. Amy has been working in the healthcare field for 18 years and understands the impact fundraisers like this can have, which is why she’s passionate about supporting and finding a cure. She knows the more awareness and funds raised, the closer we get to a cure. Amy and her dog-obsessed daughter Addy have a six-year-old Goldendoodle named Marley.
