Story

Guide Dogs for the Blind is passionate about helping every person with sight loss have the confidence and support they need to live their lives to the full. One of the ways they do this is by breeding, raising & training Guide Dogs, both to support adults or work as buddy dogs with children. This life changing service is only possible because of donations, as the cost of supporting a Guide Dog from birth to retirement is approximately £55k each. 

Having been directly involved with the charity as a volunteer puppy raiser, we know the hard work, commitment and cost that is required to transform a new born puppy into a confident Guide Dog during the first 20 months of its life, and the huge difference this can make to someone's life.

Therefore an intrepid team of Designated ladies are taking on a section of the Thames Path Challenge on Saturday September 11th 2021. We will be walking 28km, following the Thames from Fulham to Hampton Court, to raise valuable funds for this important charity and to support the life-changing work that they do.

Please show your support by sponsoring us - all contributions are gratefully received!!

Thanks a million,

Jane, Jodi, Michelle & Tina
