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!

Thank you for your support! - Kate

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am over the moon to see that we have already reached our starting goal of $100. Bernard was right, he knew we could do it. I have now raised the goal to $250. I’m thrilled to have the chance to raise money for Guiding Eyes for the Blind. It’s an incredible opportunity to help provide guide dogs to individuals who are blind or visually impaired, just as I was supported by my guide dog, Bernard.
