Shriners provides advanced care for children with orthopedic conditions, burns, cleft lips and palates, and spinal cord injuries. The Kennek Foundation was formed to bring hope and inspiration to those going through tough times. Ms. Duncan created the loveable character, Trouble The Dog to carry out this mission. Trouble soothes and comforts children and has been applauded by CNN as a “socially conscious toy,” by MSNBC as a “comfort toy” and as a “therapy dog” by the Boston Herald.
