Story

Hi everyone,

In October I will be running the Royal Parks Half Marathon for Guide Dogs, an incredible charity that has deeply touched my family’s life.

A close family member of mine was partnered with a guide dog named Sammy, and it’s no exaggeration to say that Sammy has completely transformed his world. Before Sammy, daily life was filled with uncertainty and limitations. But with Sammy by his side, he's regained independence, confidence, and freedom.

Watching the bond between them grow has been nothing short of inspiring. Sammy doesn’t just guide — he empowers, comforts, and brings joy every single day.

Guide Dogs doesn’t just provide dogs — they provide life-changing partnerships. But training and supporting these amazing dogs costs money, and that’s where we can help.

If you can, please consider donating — every pound raised goes directly to helping someone else like my family member receive the gift of freedom through a guide dog.

Thank you so much for your support. 💛🐾
