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.

Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>My Aunt volunteers for Guide Dogs as a puppy walker, which means she looks after puppies until they are of training age - and sometimes she looks after guide dogs when they are between owners.</p> <p>Her puppy walking cohorts are fund raising to finance a new guide dog and at xmas dinner I promised to raise money for them via a charity run - so I'm running the Edinburgh Half Marathon on 22nd May.</p> <p>Guide Dogs receive no funding other than donations and each dog costs several thousand pounds to go from puppy to fully trained guide dog.</p> <p>This might not be a mainstream charity but it makes a real and immediate difference to those who benefit from a guide dog.</p> <p>Thanks for looking and thanks for donating.</p>
