I'm very much looking forward to running the London Marathon. Since taking up running in 2018, Neil has played a big part and been heavily involved, either through social runs or training runs.

Neil and I ran the Inverness 1/2 marathon in March this year, and we are heading to Newcastle on the 11th September to run the Great North Run 1/2 marathon. This will be part of my training for the London Marathon. Even with Neil's disability he's a great guy to run along with. The inspiration and encouragement he gives certainly gets you through the long runs. He's an inspiration to us all.

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 ."Having a guide dog is a life-changing experience and I'm phenomenally grateful to Guide Dogs for enabling me to be more independent" - Priya, guide dog owner. How your funds will change live... £125 buys a Starter Kit for a new guide dog owner £332 could provide eight weeks of Early Diagnosis Support to a child with sight loss and their family £710 could buy a Birthing Kit containing all the essential equipment for a guide dog mum to safely deliver her puppies.
