Story
On 15th June 2024 Hunter & his best furry friends Cole & Bandit aka ‘puppy’ - his 2 dogs , along with Rory and I, will be taking part in The Guide Dogs Virtual Run/Walk. Hunter has various different specialists who help him in different ways with his independence, learning and development. Part of this currently includes The Guide Dogs habilitation specialists who support Hunter. We sponsor a guide dog at the minute called Douglas, but we wanted to do a little more to give a little back. Obviously his little legs will not be able to walk/run the whole way (a chosen 5K) but Hunter does have a wagon we use when out and about so he will have free choice of how long he walks for and he can jump in and out of this freely along the way as we help him complete our route. We would appreciate so much, any donations at all, every little helps. Hunter is one very special little boy we couldn’t be any prouder of, we look forward to doing this with him and giving a little back. Thank you!
