Story
Ann will celebrate her 100th birthday in October. Having been diagnosed with Macular disease 30 years ago, Ann has experience of what sight loss and the devastation it can cause and has been determined to do what she can do to help others in a similar position.
Exercise and keeping mobile has always been very important to Ann and is something Paul (one of the Managers at her care home, Poplars in Ruislip) supports her with. During their regular walks together, Paul came up with an idea to raise money for causes close to her heart.
Here is the plan! Anne will walk the equivalent distance of the London Marathon. This will be around 105 laps of the running track at King's College playing field in Ruislip.
Please support this soon-to-be 100 year old lady in her bid to help all those living with sight loss.
About the charity we are fundraising for:
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.
