Story

To surpass my 2022 challenge, the only daft enough thing I came up with is to run a half marathon in the Guide Dogs "Hero" the dog suit on Sun 8th Oct.

Again, Swiss Re UK are doubling donations UP TO £1,500 ONLY made online here to its official charity partner for 2023, Guide Dogs!

They have given me this great opportunity to take part in the London Royal Parks half marathon, though this time I will NOT be going for a PB or any kind of record.

Your cash is vital to continue their important work.

Almost two million people in the UK are living with sight loss that has a significant impact on their daily lives. Of those, around 180,000 rarely leave their homes alone and lead lonely, isolated lives. Guide Dogs works for a world where people with sight loss are never left out of life, for a world where being blind or partially sighted is not what defines you. A world with enough support to make the challenges of sight loss no barrier to fulfilling hopes and dreams.

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.
