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

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On 26th July 2015, I became the first blind person to summit the Eiger. It was an amazing experience. I was part of Eigerparaclimb2015. Throughout the 3 days of the climb I was sight-guided by Mark McGowan. The climb was filmed, and the resulting film called 'Defiance - Eigerparaclimb' can be viewed at https://vimeo.com/138147095 

Eigerparaclimb2015 won the 'Inspiring Others award' at The National Adventure Awards. A very proud moment.

As a Guide Dog owner, I know how valuable these life changing puppies can be - so I want to raise enough money to name a Guide Dog puppy, and call it Eiger.
