About my charity :

Guide Dogs
The ability to get around is vital in order to live a full life yet thousands of blind and partially-sighted people never leave home alone. We empower visually-impaired people to live their lives how they want to.

We breed and train guide dogs which provide life changing mobility and there are currently 4,500 working guide dog partnerships in the UK. Guide dog owners only have to pay a nominal 50p for their dog to ensure no-one is prevented from having one due to lack of funds but the full lifetime cost of a guide dog from birth to retirement is £49,800. We rely on the support of the public to fund our services.

We also provide other mobility services such as rehabilitation and white cane training as well as campaign passionately to break down barriers – both physical and legal – to enable blind and partially-sighted people to get around on their own.

My personal message:

Hi all

On 13th April I will be attempting to run the long 26 miles of the London Marathon all to raise money for Guide Dogs for the Blind!

I am sure you have seen one of my team mates on Tv, Blind Dave who is running 7 marathons in 7 continents. Im going to struggle with just one, let alone 7, let alone blind!! Just imagine how that would be.

A guide dog helps those partially sighted/ Blind and helps make their lives a better and more managable, but also gives them a friend. I know anyone with a dog knows that. I have a lab and hes the best!!

So please dig deep and give me a meaning to run these 26 miles of pain, as its not going to be fun, but will do it for my Charity.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Guide Dogs will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
