AN Oxenhope man who's registered blind is tackling the Coast to Coast Walk to raise money for the Guide Dogs charity.
Peter Sutcliffe is walking the 192-mile route with his own guide dog, Leo.
Also accompanying him are his wife Karen and four friends, backed up by a support team.
They set off from St Bees, Cumbria, on May 6 and aim to arrive at Robin Hood's Bay, on the east coast, on Saturday, May 20.
An online fundraising page has been set up, at justgiving.com/page/karen-sutcliffe-1679730732335.
The target was to raise £1,000, but over £2,800 has been coined in so far.
Peter received the news that a guide dog was available in November, 2020.
Karen says: "What a life changer Leo has been. He's now an established part of our family.
"Guide Dogs have reported a shortage of dogs. Lockdown meant a pause on breeding and puppy training was difficult."
