My husband David sadly passed away last year. He had many disabling illnesses that confined him to a wheelchair and made day-to-day activities very difficult.

10 years ago he had the opportunity to be paired with a Canine Partner, a dog specifically trained to help with the everyday activities which many of us take for granted. Crunchie, a labradoodle with a massive character, arrived in our lives and David became a changed man.

Sadly Crunchie became ill and in 2022 he had to be put to sleep. David was devastated….he had lost his helper and friend. A light had gone out in all our lives.

After David died I decided that, in his and Crunchie’s memory, I wanted to raise money to help Canine Partners continue their work in providing amazing dogs to transform the lives of people with disabilities.

When I was 74 I did a Sky Dive to raise money for Canine Partners, so this year on 3rd May (David’s birthday) I am going to do a Wing Walk at Old Warden near Bedford. I am 84 years old so this will be another challenge for me.

I am hoping that you will be able to support me in this fund raising and would like to thank you in advance for whatever you can give.
