The ability to get around is vital in order to live a full life yet thousands of people with sight loss never leave home alone. We empower visually impaired people to do that and rely on the support of the public to fund the guide dog service.

Story

🌼🐾The London Marathon - the fundraising finale in memory of Adam & Honey. 🐾🌼

This marathon has given us another enormous physical challenge and is hugely symbolic as a companion to our long JOG (journey of grief). It’s kept us focussed, moving forwards and is giving us a real purpose as we continue to build our lives without our beloved Adam. He would have approved of fundraising for the Guide Dogs as our yellow Lab, Honey, was his beacon and companion and he was bereft when she died. We are remembering Adam with every step and training session and it is so special for Ann & William to be doing this together, with family friend Leyla.

William is a natural runner - Tristram treated Ann to her first pair of running shoes last October and the Couch to 5K began!! Training is gruelling, as will be the distance, but in true Kilimanjaro spirit we are determined to reach the finish line to get that medal for Adam. And with your generous support we might just be able to name another pup or two to join Addles, Honey & Thando.

Thank you SO much for being part of our journey.

Ann & William and Tristram (coach!)
