4th Annual Wag & Walkathon: Walk With Us, Change Lives
Every step, every wag, and every dollar brings hope. Together, we’ll show people facing illness, PTSD, anxiety, and hospice care that they are seen, supported, and loved.
Meet Ryder, Our Service Dog Who Brings Hope Wherever He Goes
Ryder is a Goldendoodle with a huge heart and special training. He visits people with PTSD, anxiety, and those in hospice, bringing joy and comfort when it’s needed most.
Every step in the Wag & Walkathon helps Ryder continue his important mission, as well as supports the I Am Brave program.
‘I Am Brave’ Brings Comfort and Courage During Life's Toughest Moments
I Am Brave is a gift and funding program that supports people of all ages facing health challenges, including cancer, chronic illness, and mental health struggles. Just like Ryder brings comfort in person, I Am Brave helps recipients feel seen, valued, and supported.
Every contribution to the Wag & Walkathon fuels I Am Brave —whether it’s a carefully chosen care basket or a small grant to ease financial stress.
