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

AT THE SPEED OF SIGHT - PROJECT 200

Mike Newman is registered blind and is a guide dog owner.  On October 11th 2005 at Evington Aerodrome near York, Mike broke the World Blind Land speed record - driving ALONE in a BMW M5, hitting a top speed of 178.5 mph. 

With the support of his team and sponsors, Mike intends to drive again - this time at speeds in excess of 200 mph!!

The location, time and date are yet to be confirmed.  However the car for the job has been chosen - the 'Keating Supercar'.

Funds raised through this justgiving page will be used towards kitting out the new Guide Dogs Training School which is currently being built in Atherton. www.guidedogs.org.uk/athertonappeal
