Thor: Hero of healing
As a cancer therapy dog, Thor takes his “hero” status very seriously.
After experiencing a burn injury 14 years ago, Sharp employee Michael Goodrich now gives back by volunteering at Camp Beyond the Scars for young burn survivors. An avid music lover, Michael retaught himself to play the guitar after his injury. Through the camp’s music program, he shows students they can do anything they set their minds to.
