Story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

On 13 April I ran the London Marathon in aid of Guide Dogs.

Did you know that Guide Dogs receives NO money from the government, is entirely dependent on voluntary donations, and needs £50 million a year to continue its work?

Every year Guide Dogs breeds over 1,000 puppies and it costs around £10 a day to train and care for each one. Thank you to everyone who has helped me reach and exceed my target of £3650. This amount will support a working guide dog partnership for a year.

To the left you can see, along with my triumphant snaps, photos taken at a Guide Dogs open day in March in Leamington Spa, when I had a chance to meet some very inspiring people and some gorgeous dogs. I feel so privileged to have run for this wonderful charity which really does transform lives.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Guide Dogs will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you. So please sponsor me!

Many thanks for your support.

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.
