Albert and I just celebrated one year of partnership! Thanks to Guiding Eyes for the Blind, he’s given me the ability to get back to walking outdoors, feel more confident to go places independently, and has saved me from bumping into so many things along the way! This summer he guided me through the crowds of the OCNJ boardwalk, through Knoebels theme park and the busy Christiana Mall! We are participating in WAGATHON to do our part to give back to our amazing school.

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! - Michelle
