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.

As many of you will know, my incredible wife Hannah is a Guide Dog Mobility Specialist for the charity. I’m in constant awe of her and her work and want to play a part in supporting Guide Dogs to continue to support those with sight loss.

Many of you will also know that I’m not a novice runner, however I’ve never run a marathon before… in fact I’ve never run more than a half. So, it will be a challenge. One that is hopefully worthy of your donations.

Thank you for your support.
