The ability to get around is vital in order to live a full life yet thousands of people with sight loss never leave home alone. We empower visually impaired people to do that and rely on the support of the public to fund the guide dog service.

Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.</p> <p>We decided last year (for reasons unknown) that we all wanted to run a marathon. We all applied for the London Marathon but none of us got in. Eventually we decided on running the Edinburgh Marathon and decided to run for The Guide Dogs as our charity.</p> <p>Since all 3 of us have buckled eyesight and will probably require the use of a guide dog in the future we thought they were a worthwhile charity! In all seriousness, these dogs dedicate their lives to do so much to help blind and partially blind people live their day to day life we thought the least we could do is to raise some money for them.</p> <p>We hope that with this worthwhile charity and the fact that we will suffer greatly doing this, that you will all dig very deep and contribute to our cause. We all appreciate that we live in times of austerity but please contribute as much as you can!</p> <p>Thanks from us all,</p> <p>Steve, Alan and Matthew</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
