Citi are aiming to raise 350,000 to enable Guide Dogs to create 178 life-changing partnerships. With our support, Guide Dogs will match people with sight loss on the London waiting list to guide dogs or volunteer sighted guides. About Our London Charity Partner Guide Dogs Losing your sight shouldn't also mean losing your independence, confidence and freedom, but unfortunately, our world is a tough place when you cant see. In the UK, there are 360,000 people who are blind or partially sighted and half of them do not leave their homes alone. Guide Dogs provide life-changing services:- Guide Dogs- Volunteer sighted guides (My Guides)- Support for children and young people- Orientation and mobility specialists- Technology- Support for friends and family
Personally this will be an extra challenge for me. 6 months ago I found out I had bowel cancer, but after an operation and chemo, have just had the positive news all has gone well. I now have the standard 5 years of testing to ensure it has completely gone. During these times in our lives, you think of what we have achieved and made a difference to others. Through this challenge I want to be able to help those that need our support to make these life changing differences to their lives. During my recent treatment, some days I could only manage 200 steps a day, now with this challenge, I need to achieve a lot more. 28 miles over 2 days!
I really appreciate your support and any donation you can give to make someone else's life easier and allow them to have a better life
