Had a very good friend-childhood and up-who benefited from a guide dog. I think my friend had 4 dogs in the course of the time her sight was gone. Unbelievable strength and love.. I always wanted to raise a puppy, but my friend told me it would break me to let it go. So, this is my way of giving back.

I am a Delta Gamma, and since 1936 we are committed to helping those who are blind or visually impaired. I’m honored to participate in Guiding Eyes Wagathon and help provide independence to those who need a guide dog.

Today, we surpassed the 26.2-mile marathon goal, reaching 28.2 miles on September 16, 2025. We walked four miles, today, in brisk, lovely weather, here, in Bend, Oregon! I'm so thrilled with yellow labrador guide dog, Hollywood, GEB and Holly's puppyraisers! This was lots of fun, and I wish everyone success no matter how far you walk or jog and whatever funds you can raise for a wonderful guide dog school!!! SW

we decided to join because Guide Dog in general have been life-changing for so many, including myself! I am forever grateful to guiding Eyes for the blind for all their hard work and dedication and providing a freedom, confidence, and so much more independence to those of us who are blind or visually impaired! My girl has been life-changing, not only as a guide, but as a running guide, it has been incredible and of course we wanted to join to support and help raise funds to go to such an amazing cause! Also, what a better way to continue furthering our bond and connection as we grow and work together as a team

I am so inspired by the amazing stories about the guide teams and the bond between the handler and their dog. I am happy to be a small part of this organization"s success stories.
