Send a heart-warming message of support to a heroic partnership!
It was five years ago that guide dog Tom led his owner Mike to safety amongst the terror and chaos of the Tavistock Square bombing. Since that day Tom’s continued to play a vital part of Mike’s life, and these two best friends have enjoyed many more adventures together.
Their story is a truly exceptional one – that’s why the two of them often receive messages of support and goodwill from supporters who have been moved by their tale. Here’s your chance to send Mike and Tom your very own message.
To send your words of support simply choose the e-card design you prefer and then complete the form below. Your message might also appear in the celebration booklet Mike’s putting together about Tom’s life! You can see some of the messages other supporters have sent in our Gallery.
Please help us raise £300,000 by 30th September 2010 by making a donation to Guide Dogs today. If you make a donation by 31st July 2010 we’ll send you a copy of Mike’s special celebration booklet. Remember, the guide dog service receives no government funding. Thank you.
