Personal message
I represent the SA Guide Dogs Association for the Blind and encourage donors and sponsors to contribute to the
2011 S A Guide Dogs Charity Fly Fishing Event. All funds raised will be used to train more guide dogs that provide blind and visually impaired people with independence, mobility and companionship. My aim is to raise R25000 towards this exclusive event on the 27th August 2011.
It costs on average R55000 to trian one guide dog and the blind recipients only pay R5 for these amazing dogs that change their lives! Lets support this often forgoten sector in SA, namely the blind citizens and rally towards achieving the goal of R25000.
