SUPPORT MY CHALLENGE TO RAISE FUNDS FOR BLIND LOW VISION NZ 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.
