<p><strong>This May we challenge you to do something steptacular for Guide Dogs. Join the step challenge!&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>Your small steps will help Guide Dogs make giant leaps. Just one week of stepping can make a difference to the life of children and adults living with sight loss. And when you&rsquo;re done, you can put your feet up in style with a pair of designer socks!</p>
<p>Taking part couldn&rsquo;t be easier, to change lives all you have to do is set your own step target and fundraise at least &pound;50 each (&pound;25 for under 16&rsquo;s). In return we&rsquo;ll replace your worn-out socks with a brand-new pair &ndash; And, this year, the socks have got a new look! We&rsquo;ve teamed up with top British fashion designer Julien Macdonald to create your very own exclusive socks!&nbsp;</p>

<h2><span style="font-style: normal;">How your money helps children like Caitlin &amp; Honey</span></h2>
<p>Caitlin was born with congenital glaucoma and underwent almost 50 operations before her fifth birthday.</p>
<p>Caitlin says: &ldquo;I knew a guide dog could help me be even more confident and independent, but I never expected to gain a best friend as well. Honey puts a smile on my face every day with her puppy eyes and wagging tail. She&rsquo;s my reason to get out of bed in the morning and have a great day. We&rsquo;re a perfect match.&rdquo;</p>
