SUPPORT MY CHALLENGE TO RAISE GUIDE DOGS

I've gone barking mad and I'm taking part in the PAWGUST challenge to raise funds for Blind Low Vision NZ’s guide dogs.

Rain, hail or shine, this August I will be walking every single day!

Did you know it costs in excess of $100,000 to breed, raise and train just ONE Guide Dog?! And with thousands of dogs being trained each year, every dollar counts. I need your help so that together, we can create a world where everyone who needs a Guide Dog, has a Guide Dog.

Please make a donation to support my challenge today. Every bit counts.

Too cold for me to do anything except go to work but Agatha has been on adventures with some great dog people. Sadly I can't count her steps 🤔 Another 5.76km down ✅️ #wellingtonnz #wellington #pawgustnz #pawgust

Day 2

@jensometimeswrites

Not particularly exciting today but we still got out and did a 2.5km walk around the neighbourhood. I also did a lot of walking while helping at puppy class this morning which I'm 100% counting towards our Pawgust goal of 125km. #wellingtonnz #wellington #pawgust #pawgustnz
