Since Me and Yas started volunteering with Guide Dogs back in September 2025, we have seen first hand how much effort goes into each dog and how much of a difference they can make to someone’s life.

We have loved fostering guide dogs, seeing them grow in their training and working with the Guide Dog Trainers/Team.

The cost of training and supporting a guide dog is significant, and Guide Dogs rely heavily on fundraising and public generosity to continue their work. Which is why I decided to put myself forward to run the London Marathon in aid of Guide Dogs. I am honoured to have been chosen to represent the charity, and I aim to raise as much as possible for this amazing charity.

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.

Don't forget, Guide Dogs wouldn't be here without you. Our life-changing services depend on donations so thank you for choosing to suppor
