Last year whilst watching the London Marathon, I spent the day with with a lovely lady, who was at the time a complete stranger. She told me all about how she is personally involved with the charity due to a member of her family suffering sight loss.  I was touched and learned a lot about the work and cost involved in training these amazing dogs.  I’m a massive fan of dogs full stop, but Guide Dogs exemplify the incredible connection we can have with these animals and how huge their hearts ♥️ are. 

I’m fulfilling my hopes and dreams through running my first marathon - hopefully my efforts may help others to fulfill theirs. 

Almost two million people in the UK are living with sight loss that has a significant impact on their daily lives. Of those, around 180,000 rarely leave their homes alone and lead lonely, isolated lives. Guide Dogs works for a world where people with sight loss are never left out of life, for a world where being blind or partially sighted is not what defines you. A world with enough support to make the challenges of sight loss no barrier to fulfilling hopes and dreams.
