I am raising money for Hearing Dogs for Deaf People
My daughter, Katherine, has a rare chromosome disorder (18p deletion syndrome) and a severe hearing impairment is part of this. Kath was matched with hearing dog River a year ago and her life has changed so much for the better! River not only alerts her to important sounds but gives her love, companionship and independence.
Every penny I raise will help more hearing dog puppies to be trained, so that one day they can transform a deaf person's life.
Hearing dogs are highly trained to alert deaf people to important and life-saving sounds, such as the smoke alarm, alarm clocks and even intruder alarms and baby monitors. They also provide lots of love, companionship and emotional support, which is really important as many deaf people can feel lonely and isolated.
It costs £25,000 to fully train a hearing dog, so the challenge I am taking on is a great way to raise funds to train more dogs. Any donation, however large or small, will really help.
Thank you.
