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

In a moment of madness and perhaps one too many glasses of wine I agreed with a couple of friends to do the Great North Run, and as if to test my commitment to this, when the ballot was done my two friends both got a place, but not me.  By this point I was looking forward to tackling the 13.1 miles, so I took a moment and resolved as I really wanted to do it I could do it for a reason rather than just crazy self gratification, I could raise money for a worthy cause, it didn't take me long to make my choice, there was only one that I felt worthy, Guide Dogs! 

They do such important work, changing peoples lives and I want to be part of that by helping them.
