GO See Foundation Members enjoyed a calm, beautiful morning on the still waters of Morro Bay during our tandem kayaking event for 2025.
Thanks to the help from John and Kinley Flaherty at Central Coast Outdoors and several sighted guide volunteers, participants got some exercise, fresh air and a better understanding of marine life and the ecosystems of the bay.
After the trip, many folks stayed and enjoyed lunch together at the Bayside Cafe.
Several GO See Foundation Members and supporters participated in the 2025 Ryans Ranch 5k Run to help support the 17-Strong Foundation as well as the Central Coast Athletics Foundation.
It was a warm sunny day at the Ranch. The courses (Kids mile, 5k, 10k) were in great shape and easy to navigate by our Members, whether they walked the course with a cane, a guide dog or tethered to a sited guide.
The GO See Foundation booth was manned by Board Members who spoke with visitors about the foundation and the work we do to help our members enjoy activities together as a group. The whole day raised thousands of dollars to support 17-Strong (which provides no-cost destination trips for younger cancer survivors) and the Central Coast Athletics Foundation (which advocates athletic participation for local young people in San Luis Obispo County).
During this radio show appearance with Dave Congalton, GO See Foundation founder, Allyson Buerger joins board member Laura Zamora to discuss vision loss, past events that the GO See Foundation has supported and the upcoming First Annual GO See Retreat at Camp Ocean Pines in Cambria, October 13-15, 2023.
Dr. Laurie Mileur was diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) in 1992 at the age of 40. When I met Laurie several years ago, I was impressed by her positive and healthy approach to vision loss. We’re proud to have Laurie on the Board of Directors for the GO See Foundation.

In this episode of our podcast, we visit with Lauren Lajoie who was diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) at the end of her studies at Cal Poly University in San Luis Obispo. As long as I’ve known her, she has been fun and fearless. Lauren is an inspiration to me and I hope that you find her story is an inspiration for you as well.
