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

As Optometrists who graduated from Cardiff in 1992 over 30 years ago, we've stayed in touch and enjoyed plenty of reunions. This year we have decided to challenge ourselves to walk 1992 miles to raise money for this fantastic charity. Our target is to walk the final 2 miles together at our next reunion in October! Individually beforenhand, we will be walking, running, rowing, cycling, swimming etc - collectively targeting 1992 miles and it all starts on 1st September 2026!

Almost two million people in the UK are living with sight loss that has a significant impact on their daily lives. Of those, around 180,000 rarely leave their homes alone and lead lonely, isolated lives.

Guide Dogs works for a world where people with sight loss are never left out of life, for a world where being blind or partially sighted is not what defines you. A world with enough support to make the challenges of sight loss no barrier to fulfilling hopes and dreams.
