One of the things that drew me to become involved with Guide Dogs for the Blind (GDB) is hearing people’s personal stories – how people deal with challenges and adversity surrounding loss of vision. I am impressed by the resiliency of the human spirit. It is that “can do” attitude of the people who pair with our dogs that I find so very inspiring on a personal level. These folks are determined not to be limited by a loss of vision. They really understand the value of teamwork. And they’re people who can honestly put their trust in another being. Those are no small things.
The Polar Vision team inspires me in the same way: dare I say “dogged” resilience, “can-do” attitudes, trust and teamwork. Your story is our story. Thank you for raising awareness about our mission.

when you reach the pole is there a landing strip there? what size /type of plane picks you up? Are you still on for a 5th Jan flight Alan? You must be feeling great as you get to the point where a lot of people begin their trek-the 97 mile marker- should feel like a walk in the park!. What an amazing achievment and raising a fantastic amount for such worthwhile charities. Proud of you all
