Twenty Fifth Annual Walk-a-Thon for Southeastern Guide Dog School

Southeastern Guide Dog's Twenty fifth Annual Walk-a-Thon Coming In March!

It’s time to take the Labrador shuffle on the road again. And I just can’t wait to get on the road again.  The life I love is raising money for my friends, and I can’t wait to get on the road again. Forgive me Willie!  But I just can’t help myself.

 

The gift Southeastern Guide dogs and their supporters gave to me back in 2003 is still as unbelievable to me today as it was all those years ago. And my desire to continue paying forward is still as strong as ever.

 

My guide dog, Lucky, is nearly ten years old now. I’ve followed, very strictly, the advice given me by the school and   to this day Lucky is an incredibly healthy, high spirited, passion driven hard working service dog who loves nothing more than putting on his harness and getting me around to all the places in my town, my country, my world!

 

Lucky and I have traveled thousands of miles in eight years and with the grace of God it will be many more years and many more miles before I need to return to Southeastern for a new guide.

 

Right now though, there are still many blind men and women who have not yet received their first guide, and many who are now ready for a new one.

Southeastern Guide Dog School, Inc. (SEGDI) receives NO money from your tax dollars. All of the money it takes to raise and train the dogs, house the humans while they

Learn how to use a guide dog and the support SEGDI offers all of its graduates are generated through fund raising events.

 

The Walk-a-Thon is the biggest event of the year. Its importance to the overall financial stability of the school can not be over-stated.

 

Please, help me and Lucky do our part to make the twenty fifth annual Walk-a-Thon the biggest

and best ever by visiting our special, secure, donation page at

http://sitstaygive.org/musicforsight

 

and make a donation today.

  Please?

 

And here’s what I myself am going to do. I’ll start the ball rolling with a $50.00 donation. And I’ll do even more. Lots of people participate in the walk-a-thon. Not all are graduates like me. However; the graduate who raises the most money through his or her

Special, secure, donation page will receive a $500.00 Target gift card.

If I win I will use my card to purchase things the school needs and give those things to the school in honor of all of you who help me raise more money than any other SEGDI graduate!

 

So, please, take a few minutes right now and visit Music for Sight’s Official Web Page  and make your donation today.

 

No donation is too small. And certainly, no donation is too large. The most important thing is that you donate!

 

Thank you!

And of course, anyone who helps me and Lucky help Southeastern Guide Dog School will also receive a free, autographed by Lucky, copy of “I’m the Lucky One!

 

Now, let’s all get ready and do The Labrador shuffle while seeing the world through Lucky eyes. Then you’ll see why I say, “I’m the Lucky One!”
