Pet Valu Virtual Walk for Dog Guides
This year, we may not be able to walk together in person but we can still make an impact by coming together for Dog Guides. Register, fundraise and log those kilometers so that together, we can walk across Canada to create awareness about Dog guides and fundraise to assist Lions Foundation of Canada in providing life-changing Dog Guides to Canadians with disabilities.
Our Goal? To “walk” the length of Canada- 5,514 km! Our National virtual Walk Date is Sunday, May 30th 2021. We will start off in Canada’s most easterly point, Cape Spear in Newfoundland and cross the finish line in Mt. St. Elias in Yukon. You can participate by connecting your Fitbit device, downloading the Strava or Map My Fitness App or manually logging the distance you travel.
Everytime you get out and active- whether you go for a walk or run, grab your bike to go for a ride, go on a wheelchair-accessible trail or dance around your living room- we can work together to achieve our goal.
By participating in the Walk, you can help provide life-changing Dog Guides to Canadians with disabilities. For more information, to find a Walk and register or to make a donation, please visit www.walkfordogguides.com
