Story

Hi. Sadly my much loved guide dog Molly retired just a few weeks ago. To say a massive thanks to Guide Dogs I want to help raise their profile by doing a wing walk totally blind. OK so I’ll be strapped in, not actually walking on the wing in mid-air but doing a 500ft dive, steep climbs etc. I don’t think will be a walk in the park and perhaps a little adrenaline pumping. Hmm, I’ll probably fall the 10ft off the top of the wing once we’ve landed anyway!

Unfortunately the CAA says I can’t be sponsored for a wing walk due to it being a display activity or something but there is nothing stopping you from kindly donating to Guide Dogs for the love of it.

I am paying for the £430 wing walk out of my own pocket and all of the donations will go to Guide Dogs.

I will post a video on here and Facebook as soon as I can of the wing walk..

I’m also the Chairman of the York Guide Dogs fundraising branch. If anyone would be interested in helping me organise some fun events to raise money for Guide Dogs or wants to help out at collections then please email peterholdstock@msn.com or ring 07779247216. Even just giving up a few hours per year would be appreciated.

The ability to get around is vital in order to live a full life yet thousands of people with sight loss never leave home alone. We empower visually impaired people to do that and rely on the support of the public to fund the guide dog service.
