On Saturday 27th November 2021, I will be experiencing the thrill of a Tandem Skydive. This has been a lifetime ambition, and one I wish to do behalf of the Guide Dogs.

Since losing my sight, having Hugo by my side has given me my life back and allowed to be independent and confident again. Being able to raise money and awareness of the services Guide Dogs offer to people like me is simply fantastic. I enjoy volunteering with the East Berkshire Fundraising Group.

Almost two million people in the UK are living with sight loss that has a significant impact on their daily lives. Of those, around 180,000 rarely leave their homes alone and lead lonely, isolated lives.

Guide Dogs works for a world where people with sight loss are never left out of life, for a world where being blind or partially sighted is not what defines you. A world with enough support to make the challenges of sight loss no barrier to fulfilling hopes and dreams.
