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

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

SORRY ALL CHANGE!!! The marathon has beaten me again and I am now following in the footsteps of Cheryl Cole and will be climbing MOUNT KILIMANJARO in the middle of september. Not my original challenge but a fairly good one never the less I hope.

I will be doing the climb for the Guide Dogs for the Blind. A very personal charity to me as most of you will know my dad was blind and during his life had 3 guide dogs Juno, Yorkie and Shane. The dogs enabled him to travel to the West End to work everyday. He would get on the train at woodford, count the stops to Oxford Circus, carry the dog up the escalator and then Juno would lead him along Regents street right up to the door of Wedgewood. They are amazing animals who give blind people a huge amount of independence.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Guide Dogs gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now your support is really appreciated.
