Raising money for

The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association

Charity Registration No. in England and Wales 209617 and Scotland SC038979

The ability to get around is vital in order to live a full life yet thousands of blind and partially-sighted people never leave home alone. We empower visually-impaired people to live their lives how they want to.

We breed and train guide dogs which provide life changing mobility and there are currently 4,500 working guide dog partnerships in the UK. Guide dog owners only have to pay a nominal 50p for their dog to ensure no-one is prevented from having one due to lack of funds but the full lifetime cost of a guide dog from birth to retirement is £49,800. We rely on the support of the public to fund our services.

We also provide other mobility services such as rehabilitation and white cane training as well as campaign passionately to break down barriers – both physical and legal – to enable blind and partially-sighted people to get around on their own.

My story

Yay!! I have done it! I have completed the Half Marathon.

It was an absolute scorcher of a day and a real struggle but Steve and I crossed the line in exactly 2hours 30 mins.

Thankyou so much to everyone who has sponsored me. There's still time to do so if anyone fancies donating to such a great cause - Guide Dogs. Wearing my Guide Dog T-shirt was brilliant as I got a lot of encouragement from the crowd when they saw the T-shirt and that really helped to keep me going.

Well I'm really chuffed I have achieved this but I have to say - never again!
