Oatie, go walkies for Guide Dogs

Charity

Guide Dogs - Once someone has lost their sight, a guide dog can give back a degree of freedom that often feels little short of miraculous. Most guide dog owners will tell you that when it comes to mobility aids, these highly-trained and sensitive animals are second to none. We have been expertly breeding and training guide dogs now for over seventy years and have provided thousands of dogs to blind and partially-sighted people of all ages and from all walks of life. When sight loss threatens to take away a person's freedom of movement, Guide Dogs is there to help.

Fundraiser: 
Oatie, go walkies for Guide Dogs

My page: http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/gowalkies

Hi, I’m Tim Guttridge and I’m proud that my retired guide dog Oatie has been chosen as the official mascot for go walkies, a relatively new fundraising project for Guide Dogs. If you can’t make it to an event or don’t have a dog then you can sponsor Oatie for one of the many dog walks he will be leading!

Oatie was my second guide dog but he had to stop working because he lost his sight in his left eye.  Although he’s now retired he still lives with me and my family and my new guide dog Chloe. I think Oatie likes to think I’ve got a bit of a soft spot for him!

Oatie and I are delighted to be helping Guide Dogs because they’ve looked after us so well over the years.  The Guide Dog for the Blind Association receives no government funding so I ask that you please give as generously as possible, so they can continue to provide guide dogs and general mobility services to visually impaired people. I really appreciate all your support and thank you for any donations.
