My story

Between September 2010 & March 2012 Bex and Ryan cycled 16,800 miles from England to New Zealand with the aim of having an awesome adventure and raising £1 for charity for each mile we cycle (split between Guide Dogs and AMOS Trust).

We chose Guide Dogs because Ryan's younger sister received her first guide dog in 2009 - to read more, click here.

Thank you very much for your donation!

My charity

The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association

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. Guide Dogs empowers visually impaired people to do that and relies totally on the support of the public to fund the guide dog service. We breed and train guide dogs which provide life changing mobility and there are currently 4,500 working guide dog partnerships in the UK. The full lifetime cost of a guide dog from birth to retirement is £48,500. We will not rest until blind and partially sighted people can enjoy the same freedom of movement as everyone else.
