Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Hi my name is Jackie Kennedy, in 2005 my life turned upside down when I was diagnosed with Cauda Equina syndrome and as a result became a wheelchair user. I had always been very active, this ended overnight. For the next few years I struggled to cope with my disability and slipped into a very deep depression, and attempted to take my life. In in 2013 I discovered Canine Partners little did I know my life was about to change forever.

In September 2015 I was matched with my Canine Partner KINGSTON. With Kingston by my side I have regained my Independence and my zest for life. My life has been completely transformed and every day is a new adventure with Kingston by my side. 

Canine Partners receives NO Government funding the charity is reliant on the generosity of the Public to train Assistance dogs for Adults with a physical disability. I am getting involved in a number of challenges over the next 2 years including a 216 meter bungee jump in South Africa. I want another disabled person to share in the happiness that I've experienced with Kingston. It's my wish to raise enough money to sponsor a Gorgeous little Canine Partner puppy all the way through to Partnership with a physically Disabled adult and know that their life will be transformed forever.
