Story
In August 2021 my life changed when Jamie entered my world. He gave me confidence and opened up my world again. I was a recluse never leaving the flat. Jamie got me out and moving. With the new found confidence he gave me I started running with the support of friends who were willing to guide me. I am now training for this half marathon to give back to Guide Dogs as none of this would’ve been possible without them.
