“However I know what an amazing difference they can make to other people with sight loss, which is why I am passionate about fundraising for Guide Dogs.
“This is the third year we’ve done this challenge and the support I’ve received has been fantastic.
“The community spirit never fails to amaze me and I just hope people will join in and dig deep again.”
