Get a “Tax Retriever” While Supporting BC Guide Dogs at RunGo Dash for Dogs 2025

This cause is personal to me—my mom is legally blind, and her guide dog has made a world of difference in her life.

This February, I’m lacing up my running shoes once more for a cause that’s incredibly close to my heart. On February 23rd, I’ll be running 5k in Vancouver’s RunGo Dash for Dogs to support BC & Alberta Guide Dogs, an organization that empowers individuals with disabilities through the incredible bond and service of guide dogs.

Why This Cause Matters to Me

As many of you know, my mom is legally blind. Watching her journey has shown me just how life-changing a guide dog can be. These remarkable companions provide independence, confidence, and mobility that transform lives. Supporting BC & Alberta Guide Dogs means supporting countless individuals who, like my mom, rely on these smart and devoted animals every day.

How You Can Make a Difference

Here’s how you can get involved and help us make an impact:

1. Donate – Every dollar counts. Your contribution helps train and care for these amazing dogs, preparing them to be the perfect partners for those in need. Whether it’s $5, $50, or more, your generosity will go directly toward changing lives.¹
   

2. Join the Fun – If you’re local to Vancouver, sign up to run or walk alongside me on February 23rd. It’s a great way to get active, connect with others, and support a meaningful cause.

We’re Almost There

BC & Alberta Guide Dogs don’t just provide guide dogs for individuals with visual impairments. They also support children with autism and veterans living with PTSD by matching them with expertly trained service dogs. Your support helps fund the care, training, and resources needed to create these incredible partnerships.

I’m thrilled to share that I’ve already raised 69% 77% of my fundraising goal—and we’re so close to hitting 100%! With your help, we can reach it and go even further.
