Will you lend a paw to raise funds for Guide Dogs in Aotearoa New Zealand? Walk or run (with or without a dog) during August to reach your target distance and get your family, friends and workmates to sponsor you. How far will you walk during Pawgust?

For Kiwis who are blind or have low vision, a Guide Dog offers so much more than mobility, they bring confidence, freedom, and the chance to live life on their own terms.

Training a Guide Dog takes time, dedication, and expert care, and it costs approximately $175,000 to breed, raise, and maintain just one. With no government funding, Blind and Low Vision NZ relies entirely on the kindness and support of people like you to keep their program running.
