When Thomas Panek lost his eyesight more than 25 years ago, the anxious runner doubted he would ever pursue his lifelong passion again. “It was too scared to run,” he said.
Indeed, although Panek had been running since high school, the idea of running blind seemed altogether too difficult. But he did manage to keep his dream alive—with help from human guides who assisted him on each run.
Even so, he lost the real joy of the run—the thrill of independence that comes from completing a course on his own. “When you’re tied to another person, it’s no longer your own race.” the 48-year-old said. “The independence isn’t quite there.”
But Panek found a friend—indeed, man’s best friend—who would help him regain that sense of purpose. Not only did Panek rediscover his love for running, but, along the way, he founded Guiding Eyes for the Blind, an organization dedicated to providing service dogs for the visually damaged.
On March 16, Gus glided across the finish line with his human at the New York City Half Marathon. In that moment, they were both recorded into the history books. Panek, who finished the course in a little more than two hours and 20 minutes, became the first blind runner to complete the race led by dogs.
Panek pointed out that it wasn’t just Gus who provided the wind beneath his running shoes. In all, three guide dogs helped him see his way to the finish line. Siblings Westley and Waffle picked up the early parts of the course, each running between five and eight kilometers of the 21-kilometer race. Along the way, the whole team got plenty of support from event host New York Road Runners.
With retirement approaching, it would be the faithful yellow labrador’s last race. But for Panek, the road ahead remains long and bright—not only for him, but for anyone with a disability who still hopes to run down a dream.

D.We can make a difference by helping others.
