It’s almost time to take your four-legged friend for a walk for a good cause.
The fifth annual Purina Walk for Dog Guides is May 29 at the Lion’s Gazebo at Enderby’s Riverside Park.
“The largest walk of its kind in Canada, the Purina Walk for Dog Guides is held in more than 250 communities in support of Canadians with disabilities,” said Jean Early, a local organizer.
Participation in the walk can help provide one of the six kinds of Dog Guides:
Canine vision for people who are blind or visually impaired
Hearing dog for people who are deaf or hard of hearing
Special skills for people with a medical or physical disability
Seizure response for people with epilepsy
Autism assistance for children with autism spectrum disorder
Diabetic alert launched in 2013
The Enderby event is sponsored by the Enderby Lions Club in conjunction with the Lions Foundation of Canada.
Anyone wanting to participate in the walk can get pledge sheets at Enderby Jewellers, Sutherlands Bakery or Shuswap Insurance in Enderby.
For more information or to get a pledge sheet, contact Jean at 250-838-7410 or Betty at 250-836-4126.
