Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my Just Giving fundraising page.

I took part in the Great North Run on 18th September 2011 to help raise money for The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association.

 

It’s an amazing moment when a newly qualified guide dog meets its blind or partially sighted owner for the very first time. It’s even better to know that the money you helped me raise through this challenge has played a big part in making it happen.

The guide dog service receives no government funding, so they rely entirely on the kindness of their supporters. By choosing to sponsor me for The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association, you will help us to create even more amazing guide dog partnerships of the future.

 

Every single guide dog partnership takes around 24 months of training, seven years of support, and costs almost £50,000. To meet the costs of the training, not to mention all the food, vaccinations and veterinary support, they really do rely on the donations that people make towards their work.

 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
