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.
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.

Tough run this week but encouraged by other runners
Tuesday 28th Jul Great to meet some of the other HD runners on line. 30 other runners 🏃 Share
Very hot run today
Thursday 23rd Jul Inspired by hitting the £500 for donations I ordered a tutu to run in (together with my dog ears obviously!) and did a 16k run with a very useful pit stop at my lovely friend Anna who provided water, a plaster for my foot and the use of her faculties 😁 Share
16km training run today
Tuesday 16th Jun Felt good, despite the heat and recovering from very limited sleep on scout camp this weekend. Thanks to Kitty and Estelle for joining me for the middle section. 😁
Thank you to everyone who has sponsored me
Monday 8th Jun It really helps motivation on the hills! Share
