50p, £1 or what ever you have to donate would be amazing and give the Guide Dog Puppies and their Mum's a great start in life!

This walk is to raise money for the Guide Dogs Puppy Appeal.
How the money you raise helps people with sight loss
Every kilometre and every pound raised will truly help the two million children and adults living with sight loss currently in the UK. Your amazing donations really make a difference...
£6 could support a working guide dog partnership for a day.
£26 could buy a white harness, the iconic symbol of a working guide dog.
£69 could buy a puppy raising kit for the volunteers who look after our puppies during their first year.
£138 could buy a starter kit for a guide dog partnership, containing everything they need to start their new life together.
£865 could buy a birthing kit, containing all the essential equipment for a guide dog mum to safely deliver her puppies.
My Mum, who is registered blind, has had the opportunity of 2 beautiful Guide Dogs over the last 15 years; Halley and Paddy. Not just working dogs, but loving companions to those who cannot see. Giving them confidence to live a normal life.
I will be doing this walk during the month of October with my own puppy, 9 month old Silver Labrador Milo, who is also in the main profile picture.
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.
