Story

I was due to run the London Landmarks last year, but due to lockdown the race was postponed, however I did manage to run it virtually, along with 3 other half marathons over the lockdown period.

The Guide Dogs association very kindly offered me a place again this year, once again it has been postponed until August - madly this is the first half marathon I have lined up out of 4 (Big Half, Hackney and Great North Run) and I would love to raise some more money for this wonderful worth while cause.  I will be running with my fabulous friend Susie who will be dressed up as Hero the guide dog mascot (on the 1st August !! THE HEAT!), we are just aiming to have a much fun as possible.

If you could spare a few Pennies I would be so grateful.

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. We provide individual support that overcomes the emotional and physical challenges faced by people living with sight loss.We work for a world where people with sight loss are never left out of life. We work for a world where blind people no longer feel invisible, where the quality of their eye sight is genuinely the only difference between them and the rest of society.A world with enough support to make the challenges of sight loss no barrier to fulfilling your needs and dreams. A world where being blind or partially sighted isn't what defines you.
