The Pet Valu Walk for Dog Guides left Pet Valu Morrisburg at 10:00 AM on Sunday, May 26th, 2019.
Participants enjoyed free ice cream cones at The Docksyde. Afterward, a fundraising BBQ was held at Pet Valu, with food donated by the Morrisburg & District Lions Club.
$3030 was raised for Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides.
From guiding their handlers through their daily lives to getting help when it's needed most, Dog Guides play a crucial role in the lives of Canadians with disabilities. Lions Foundation of Canada's mission is to assist Canadians with a medical or physical disability by providing them Dog Guides at no cost.
Thanks to national sponsors, 100 per cent of the funds raised from the Walk go directly towards the raising, training and placement of Dog Guides for Canadians with medical or physical disabilities. Dog Guides Canada has already provided specially trained Dog Guides to more than 3,000 men, women and children, all without any government funding.
With your help more people will experience the mobility, safety and independence a devoted Dog Guide brings.
