Story

Help Me Take on the Great North Run for Guide Dogs! 🦮💛

This year, I’ve set myself my biggest challenge yet — running the Great North Run for the very first time as a charity runner for Guide Dogs!

I only started running a year ago, and since then I’ve hit my 5K and 10K goals — something I never thought I’d achieve. Now I’m pushing myself even further by taking on my first ever half marathon.

Guide Dogs is an incredible charity that transforms the lives of people living with sight loss. Their work provides freedom, confidence, and independence — but training and supporting each guide dog partnership is expensive. Every donation, no matter the size, helps puppies become life-changing companions.

If you’re able to donate, share, or cheer me on, it would mean the world. Thank you so much!

Let’s do this — for every runner, every guide dog, and every person whose life they change. 🦮✨
