Prepare to embark on an uplifting journey with a four-legged friend this August: PAWGUST awaits!
Join Guide Dogs for a month-long adventure guaranteed to set tails wagging. The challenge is simple: get out and about for daily walks or runs throughout the month.
Whether you aim for 60km, 100km, or an impressive 125km, each step you take will make a paw-sitive impact. You don’t even need a dog to sign up!
PAWGUST isn't just about fitness; it's a chance to support Guide Dog pups on their journey to becoming life-changing companions. Since its inception in 2018, PAWGUST fundraisers have helped train 134 Guide Dogs and raised an impressive $6.7 million.
Guide Dogs Australia relies heavily on community support, as minimal government funding is received.

Meet Alana and her Guide Dog, Rocket
University student and second-year PAWGUST participant Alana, shares her story of how Guide Dog Rocket has given her the confidence to attend lectures in-person and join uni life with her peers.
"Having Rocket has made an enormous difference to my life. I wouldn't leave the house nearly as much. I would have chosen to study online and would miss out on so much."
Alana shared that she often walked into obstacles while using a white cane, but Rocket helps her to walk away from them, providing her with a feeling of safety and independence.
If you’re not able to lend a paw and get involved with PAWGUST this year, you can support Alana and Rocket by donating here: www.pawgust.com.au/fundraisers/alanatiller
