I am walking from St Peter's Gate in Nottingham, setting off on August 23rd 2024 with the support and send-off from the local Guide Dogs fundraising group. My route will take me south to Portsmouth where I will board a ferry to Santander on the 30th of August where I will continue my walk around the ship until my arrival on the 1st of September. I will then continue my walk from Spain through to Portugal where I hope to arrive in sunny Cabanas on the 1st of October.

I hope you will join me along the way sharing your support and well wishes for this challenge I wish to do in aid of Guide dogs enabling people with Visual Impairment to live the life they choose, all donations gratefully received will go towards naming a life-changing puppy.

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.
