Story

So, it's my first marathon so why not make it special, not only will I be running in one of the greatest marathons in the world, London. But I'm also going to be attempting a world record, the world record fit the fastest marathon in a car costume. The costume will of course be a Fiesta, nah just messing with you obviously it's going to be an Aston Martin. 

With this being my first marathon this will obviously be a huge challenge and one I'm going to train like crazy for. Although this doesn't come close to the amount of training that goes into making a guide dog into someone's new best friend, a best friend that will change their life for the better. It's no cake walk either it's a massive challenge for both the guide dog team, dog and new owner. I've seen the difference that a guide dog can make to someone, and I'm sure everyone has seen the difference they can make just going down the road on a Saturday afternoon. 


Although all of this life changing training unfortunately isn't free. So they need all the funding they can get, to make sure everyone that needs a guide dog can get a guide dog. That's why I'm raising the funds for them so more digs can be trained to change people's lives. 


Along with the marathon I'll be doing much more in terms of fundraising, other races, raffles, cake sales, a quiz evening, the works. All in the name of Guide Dogs, however I need your help to make all of this a reality any donations or participation in my events will be extremely appreciated, no matter the amount. So thank you for reading and any contributions. 


Kind regards, 

Aston Martin.
