Hello all and welcome to my page! 

In support of this fantastic cause, I will be running the London Landmarks Half Marathon on the 1st August, alongside my lovely friend Tash, who is running for Samaritans (other great charity)!

I signed up for this half marathon as I was looking for a challenge and if that challenge could help to raise awareness and money for the charity, Guide Dogs, then even better.

In the UK today, almost two million people are living with sight loss and of those, around 180,000 rarely leave their homes alone. Many suffer from depression and struggle with feelings of isolation.

Guide Dogs is here to help solve this problem. They provide individual support that overcomes the emotional and physical challenges faced by people living with sight loss. 

The Guide Dog charity works for a world where: 

• people with sight loss are never left out of life,
• blind people no longer feel invisible,
• the quality of their eye sight is genuinely the only difference between them and the rest of society,
• with enough support to make the challenges of sight loss no barrier to fulfilling your needs and dreams,
• being blind or partially sighted isn't what defines you.

Training has been tough so far, both mentally and physically, but I am determined to complete the half marathon, but I am sure I will, as I have the help and support of my amazing friends and family! 

I am very grateful to you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page - any donation, big or small is greatly appreciated and makes all the difference to this amazing charity.
