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.

This year I’ve added extra events to complete as part of my 2021 challenge. Over the last 12 months I’ve fell in love with lake swimming and it’s inspired me to try something completely new, SwimRun.

Starting in June I am taking part in the Great North Swim 1 mile held in Lake Windermere.

Moving into July I will be taking on the BRECA SwimRun SOLO Sprint, which consists of 18km of Running and 3km of Swimming, alternatively. 

The full steam ahead to GNR in September!
