Hey everyone. I'm fundraising for a charity called Dogs for the Disabled, who kindly helped me get a place on the Great North Run Half Marathon this September! I picked Dogs for the Disabled (D4D) because I really like what they're doing and it's a small charity so they really feel the positive impact of charitable donations - your money is less likely to get lost here than with Red Cross or the British Heart Foundation.

Basically, D4D trains dogs to help physically disabled folk, and (really exciting) also to work with families with autistic children! They even have a program called PAWS (Parents Autism Workshops and Support) that works with parents to get untrained family dogs to have a positive impact on kids with Autism (and their families, too). 

I think they're doing really interesting and awesome work - I've seen what a positive impact dogs can have on children and families as a whole, and I'm SURE you want to add some tangible support to get some more wind behind their sails. If you can't donate, volunteer! (if you're anywhere near Banbury)

My goal is £350 because that's the minimum amount I committed to fundraise, but don't be shy about donating even if that mark has been met!
