For the last couple years I’ve been gearing up to taking on a difficult challenge with the goal of raising as much money as possible for a great cause, and finally have committed myself to running the London Marathon this October eek! 

Whilst the idea of running just over 26 miles feels painful, the thought of raising money for Guide Dogs will drive me through it. In the UK, there are 2 million living with sight lost with half of them not leaving their homes alone.The guide dogs provide the support, and most importantly independence and freedom these people deserve. I feel very privileged to be raising money for this essential team of humans and dogs who continually help our loved ones.

Citi are aiming to raise £350,000 to enable Guide Dogs to create 178 life-changing partnerships. With our support, Guide Dogs will match people with sight loss on the London waiting list to guide dogs or volunteer sighted guides. 

Whether it’s pennies or pounds, any donations you can spare will be hugely hugely appreciated and help continue the work of this great charity and support me on my run!!
