<p>Well, it's been a while since I did my last sponsored event for Guide Dogs - but the lovelies at the charity highlighted a blind drive event in Norfolk to me and I was interested.</p> <p>Brave BSM instructors are teaming up with the fundraising department at guide dogs to hold this blind drive event on March 27th - both for blind and sighted people.. but the trick is, if you can see, you'll be blind-folded!</p> <p>Ok, so the bottom line is that I need to raise &pound;100 for this event, but I'd like to double it, and I hope you can help in some small way.</p> <p>Thank you in advance, and now for the Justgiving donation wordies:</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> <p>----- back to my wordies ----</p> <p>Did you know that it costs nearly &pound;50,000 to train and support just one guide dog partnership, but that Guide Dogs only charges 50 pence to successful Applicants so no one is excluded from this life-changing service.</p> <p>Over 1,100 guide dog puppies are currently born in the UK each year - and the Association is looking to increase this.</p> <p>*** Guide Dogs receives NO Government Funding ***</p>
