Guide and Service Dogs changing lives
In October 2010, I embarked on a life-changing journey, which led me to meet my future husband, leave a 20-year-long corporate lifestyle, and most recently, become a Puppy Raiser.
Phil Case injured his spinal cord when diving into the sea 20 years ago. He is paralysed from the chest down and uses a wheelchair to move around.
On that eventful trip in 2010, he was riding a modified quadbike in a fundraising event for quadriplegics and paraplegics called Quads 4 Quads. I was in the backup team for my paraplegic sister-in-law. Phil and I met at the finish line, covered in 1,000km worth of dust from four days of hot and challenging riding. It truly was love at first sight (in spite of having a really bad hair day). We got engaged four months later, and married within the next year.
