I WANT to thank your readers for helping to make Guide Dogs' first ever Shades for a Day such a fantastic success.

On July 18 this year 250,000 people took part in the event by donning their sunglasses for the charity. Not only was Shades for a Day great fun, but it also raised awareness about the importance of caring for your eyes. Next year Shades for a Day takes place on July 16, when we hope to win even more support.

Geraldine Peacock, Chief executive, Guide Dogs.
