I’ve been a Fundraising Volunteer with Bexley Guide Dogs Fundraising Group for a while now and have seen first hand the amazing work that Guide Dogs do to support people living with sight loss.

I regularly attend bucket collections, events and talks to help raise much needed funds to support this wonderful charity. In April 2025 I attended the Guide Dogs London Marathon After Party where this crazy idea materialised!

Although I’ve been running for about 8 years, I only plucked up the courage to join a running club last year and I’ve certainly never ran anything like this distance! I am in no way underestimating the mammoth task ahead, but know that the difficulties I face in the coming months, I can conquer with your support.

I’m so passionate about Guide Dogs, that I changed my job so that I can be at home to raise our very own Guide Dog puppy later this year. We are so excited to begin another new volunteering chapter as Puppy Raisers. We are Guide Dog super fans!

£2,000 is my minimum fundraising target but I‘d really love to raise a serious amount of money with your help. Guide Dogs have helped all of my Guide Dog Owner friends on many levels, practically and emotionally and the dogs are nothing short of incredible.

Please help me, help them, I’m so grateful for every penny, thank you so much for your support.

Every day, 250 more people join the 2 million already living with sight loss. This number is set to double by 2050, which is why our work is more important than ever before, however, we can only continue our life-changing work, such as our guide and buddy dog services, mobility training, education support, sighted guides and much more with your support.

With your support, we can help children and adults to live actively, independently, and well.

How your sponsorship could help:

£125 could buy a starter kit for a new guide dog owner, containing everything they need to start life with their new dog.

£451 could provide the parents of a child with a vision impairment with ten sessions of support.

£1000 could pay for an entire family to attend our Family weekend, where they can access specialist support and meet other families in similar situations.

Guide Dogs wouldn't be here without you. Our life-changing services depend on donations so thank you for supporting us.
