My mum lost her eyesight 17 years ago and her world was turned upside down. When she had her first guide dog she was able to find her independence again and it changed her life for the better! Every year I try to do an event to raise money for this charity so that other people like my mum can find their feet again!

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.
