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.

Guiding Eyes pups start changing lives the moment they get put with their puppy raiser. Almost 2 years ago, I picked up my first Guiding Eyes puppy, Lucas. Saying he changed my life is honestly an understatement. I never knew that the bond between a human and dog could be so strong and so powerful. Together we took on the world, and now he’s learning how to do that for someone else.
Immediately following Lucas’ return to Guiding Eyes, I received my second puppy, Venice. Venice was started for me by one of my best friends, who I wouldn’t have met if it weren’t for Guiding Eyes. Venice is currently 12 months old and is showing so much promise and potential. She continues to improve everyday, and we are thrilled to share our September adventures with you!
