On the day of the 3rd of October I will be taking part in the Virtual London Marathon to raise funds for the Guide Dogs association.

Anyone who knows me well is aware of my passion for Dogs. I have been a sponsor for Guide Dogs for a number of years now and being able to do something like this to help such a worthwhile organisation is something I have jumped at the chance to do.

I will be hoofing it ‘26.2 miles in 24 Hours’ along the Shropshire Union Canal from Nantwich to Chester (Route is around 21 miles but will be back tracking along the route to make it up to 26.2)

BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE:

If I manage to hit my target of £600 and over I will personally double my goal to 52.4 miles in 48 Hours and hoof back from Chester to Nantwich after camping overnight. (My poor feet).

In the UK today, almost two million people are living with sight loss and of those, around 180,000 rarely leave their homes alone.
