I am raising money for Hearing Dogs for Deaf People

Every penny I raise will help more hearing dog puppies to be trained, so that one day they can transform a deaf persons life.

My wife is profoundly deaf, and one day hopes to be matched with a hearing dog. Through the application process, i've seen first hand how life-changing hearing dogs can be for deaf people. I'm raising money for Hearing Dogs without her knowledge and hope to surprise her nearer the time!

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.

January blews

Saturday 17th Jan
30 miles clocked up in the first 2 weeks of January. Running as snow fell was a first, the icy run the following day was more challenging, but I avoided falling over!
