BLINDNESS CHANGES EVERYTHING

Today over 1.3 million people are blind in the U.S. An additional 75,000 will become visually impaired this year. The loss of sight impacts every area of a person's life: relationships, hobbies, work or school, just getting from point A to point B. Yet, only 10% of people who are blind have received training to travel safely using a white cane or guide dog.

To increase awareness of the programs Leader Dog provides to the blind community, and to raise money to support these programs, we’ve established a $5,000 Blindness Awareness Month fundraising goal for October. This amount is equal to the cost of training one person to travel using a white cane.

Blindness changes everything, but you can change everything too.
