A little bit about me, my name is Jess and I have decided to sign up for London Landmarks Half Marathon in April 2026. Now, if you know me then you will probably know that running has never been my favourite thing to do, and yes I even cried when I used to run cross country. However I believe in challenge and in pushing yourself especially if it's for something as important as Guide Dogs. As some of you may already know I have a hearing impairment. Fortunately I have grown up with a lot of support around me. As a whole I haven't struggled as much as maybe I would have done without that support. A charity like Guide Dogs is life changing for those who have needs greater than mine. Guide Dogs don’t just change lives—they restore confidence, independence, and a sense of connection to the world. This is deeply personal to me. I’m running not just to raise funds, but to give someone else the chance to feel safe, seen, and free.
