I'm excited to be taking part in the Canine Partners Strive for 35 Challenge and will be completing a 35-mile cycle in one day to help raise funds for this incredible charity that transforms the lives of disabled people by providing highly trained assistance dogs.

Over the past 3 months, I’ve had the privilege of working as a graphic designer at Canine Partners, and I’ve been truly inspired by the dedication and passion of our staff and volunteers. I’ve seen firsthand the life-changing impact these amazing dogs have on their partners, and I’m proud to be part of such a fantastic team and to play a role in the extraordinary work the charity does.

As for the ride itself, this will be a real challenge for me! I sit at a desk most of the day, and my fitness levels are currently pretty low, so cycling 35 miles is no small feat. In fact, cycling has never really been my strong suit, with my family often reminding me of how I used to fall off my bike every time I hit a bump in the road. But I’m excited to push through and complete this ride to support such a worthwhile cause.

By supporting my fundraising challenge, you’ll be helping to continue Canine Partners important work. Every donation, no matter how small, will make a huge difference. Thank you for your support!
