Great North Run 2021 · 12 September 2021 ·

Great North Run 2021
Campaign by Guide Dogs (RCN Eng. & Wales 209617, Scot. SC038979, & IoM 1334)
The Great North Run is firmly established as the UK's most popular half marathon, runners travel from far and wide to be part of this fantastic event.

Story

We should be running the great north run 2020 for the guide dogs, but as that is now cancelled due to COVID 19 we are taking on some virtual challenges instead, as the charity still needs the funds. 

The first challenge is running 'Endure 24' virtually. From 12pm on the 3rd until 12pm on the 4th of July we will run as many miles as we can fit in.

We will also be running the GNR virtually, as well as the actual event that we have deferred to 2021.

In the UK today, almost two million people are living with sight loss and of those, around 180,000 rarely leave their homes alone. Many suffer from depression and struggle with feelings of isolation. Guide Dogs is here to help solve this problem. We provide individual support that overcomes the emotional and physical challenges faced by people living with sight loss. We work for a world where people with sight loss are never left out of life. We work for a world where blind people no longer feel invisible, where the quality of their eye sight is genuinely the only difference between them and the rest of society. A world with enough support to make the challenges of sight loss no barrier to fulfilling your needs and dreams. A world where being blind or partially sighted isn't what defines you.

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.
