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

After last year’s eventful weekend (read more here!), Article 10 are once again taking on the Talybont Challenge.

With the Article 10 team constantly expanding, this year we’ll be taking part as two (competing) teams! Lyndon and Dale will be going head-to-head with the partaking staff divided under their leadership.

So, it’s The Wildcats (Lyndon, Sarah, Erin, Melly & Keith) Vs Potter and The Pacemakers (Dale, Claire, Lara & Josie).

The 10 hour challenge involves a 10K hike through the stunning Welsh mountains to the summit of Waun Rydd, which is 762m above sea level. As well as a 26K mountain bike along the Taft Trail and rugged forest roads.

The money raised by the challenge goes to Guide Dogs for the Blind and we have a minimum target of £4,500…any help from you to reach this target will be hugely appreciated!

Please dig deep people and don't forget to state which team you're rooting for in your comment! :)

Love,

The Wildcats and Potter and The Pacemakers
