Guide Dogs

Guide Dogs wants a world in which all blind and partially-sighted people enjoy the same rights, opportunities and responsibilities as everyone else.

Our mission is to provide guide dogs and other mobility services that increase the independence and dignity of blind and partially-sighted people. We campaign for improved rehabilitation services and unhindered access for all blind and partially-sighted people.

Whether you’d like to join our running team, experience the thrill of a tandem skydive, explore your adventurous side on an overseas challenge, saddle up and take to the Alps on your bike for our Le Tour Cycle Challenge, or gather a group together for a fantastic team challenge, there’s nothing stopping you taking up a challenge for Guide Dogs!

Do something amazing; take up the challenge and help Guide Dogs.

King of the Mountains – Le Tour Cycle Challenge

After seven consecutive sell out years, the Guide Dogs Le Tour Cycle Challenge is changing.

For 2010 we’re planning on giving you an even greater Tour de France experience. You will have the opportunity to experience the same cols and mountains that have tested the greatest cycling legends.

“I just wanted to say what a fantastic event it was and well organised, clichés such as ‘memorable’ and a ‘true challenge’ don’t really do it justice” Martin Senior

Two support vehicles will ensure you remain hydrated and fed throughout each stage. Breakfast, dinner and a comfy hotel bed will have you ready and eager for each new alpine day. All luggage will de transported to and from each night’s accommodation, and will be waiting for you when you arrive after a fantastic day in the saddle. There will also be a massage service available to relax tired muscles each evening.

You can find out more information on how to be a part of Le Tour Challenge by contacting Will on 0845 600 6787 or we can call you back. You can also read more about the itinerary and further details

“It was great cycling and fabulous views but what made it truly great were the wonderful people, the sense of personal achievement, because it is a very tough challenge.” Robert Smith

This really is your chance to become King of the Mountains and help to raise valuable funds for Guide Dogs.
