Thank you so much for supporting my challenge for Guide Dogs UK in 2025.

I am excited to be taking part in this challenge despite a number of health difficulties over the past 3 years as a result of long covid.

I have worked hard to regain my mobility having had my fitness and ability to walk any distance so abruptly taken from me, I want everyone to promise themselves never to take any part of your health for granted.

I feel very proud to be able to give something back to anyone whose sight is challenged to allow them to live an independent life how they chose to live it without barriers. Never underestimate the difference a dog can make to someone’s life. There is nothing more special than the remarkable dogs of Guide Dogs Uk.

I am proud to support the training of the dogs to give them the opportunity to reach their full potential to change someone’s life.

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 can help:

· £29 could pay for an hour of training for a guide dog.

· £141 could buy a starter kit for a guide dog partnership, containing everything they need to start their new life together.

· £251 could buy a Fine Motor Skills Bundle, providing a package of toys carefully selected by our experts to help a child develop their dexterity skills.
