The WAGATHON is a cumulative marathon that you and your dog can do anywhere, at your own pace throughout the month of September. The goal is to hit 26.2 miles by September 30th – all while raising critical funds to support Guiding Eyes for the Blind’s mission to provide guide dogs to people with vision loss. It’s an opportunity for people and dogs alike to stay active and do good.
Guiding Eyes for the Blind changes lives by connecting amazing people with extraordinary dogs. For individuals who are blind or visually impaired, a Guiding Eyes dog means freedom, confidence, and the opportunity to experience all of life's adventures - big and small. From Home Training to Specialized Training to Running Guides and more, Guiding Eyes' pioneering programs are individualized to each student. Together, these dogs are paired with just the right student - and both their lives are forever changed. You can be a part of this life-changing mission by making a donation today!

3.86 miles today!
3.86 miles today along the beautiful walking path through Commons Park to Angola Middle School and then through downtown Angola and Trine Campus. Tessi always stops for a drink at the Smoothie Shop since they have a dog bowl out front…love that! We’re just $100 short of our $2000 goal.

We walked another 1.60 miles this even with neighbor friends for Taco Tuesday. We always go around the table and mention something we are thankful for… I said I was so thankful for friends and how walkable Angola is. Thanks to ALL of you for joining this journey with us.

Help us with the remaking $150. Every dollar means the world to us!
Tuesday’s Walking Route
Another great walk this morning. It was a bit cool when we started (61 degrees) but warmed up to 68 at the finish. Tessi and I took the Steuben County Multipurpose Trail from Commons Park to Walmart. This route is very nice with wide sidewalks. Tessi was loving every minute. We only need $150 to make our $2000 goal, so if you know anyone that would like to make dreams come true for the visual impaired, send them this link: https://give.guidingeyes.org/wagathon-2024/TeamTessi?tab=MyPage
I walked 3.17 miles towards my goal!
