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

Starting on 7th June 2017, I am taking part in a 278km bike ride (equivalent to 3 back to back London to Brightons!) along with 11 other work colleagues, where we’ll be cycling from Poitiers to Bergerac in France. This is to raise money for my chosen charity The Guide Dogs, alongwith 9 local hospices and The Rockinghorse Appeal through sponsorship from our company’s clients. For my personal fundraising target, I am hoping to raise at least £350+ for The Guide Dogs. 

Over the past few years the Cellular Solutions Team have raised well over £140,000 – so with your help this event will help take us over the £180,000 mark – with the aim of reaching £250,000 over the next few years from our cycle fundraising, which will see Cellular Solutions Team having cycled the length of France!!

I have chosen to support the Guide Dogs, as it’s a charity that I have been actively involved with since I was a child. My family and I continue to support and fundraise for the Guide Dogs, as the independence that the dogs give to blind and partially sighted people is invaluable.

Cellular Solutions will also match like for like any funds we raise up to £5,000.  Our overall total fundraising target for this event is £32,000. Every donation will help towards this figure that will make a significant difference to those less fortunate than ourselves. Every penny donated goes to charity and not towards the costs of the event thanks to sponsorship of the event by one of our network partners.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. JustGiving will never sell your details or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. Therefore, it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Every donation makes a real difference to The Guide Dogs and it would mean an awful lot to me if you would be so kind to help further their cause. Thank you!! xx
