I am running the London Marathon to raise money for Hearing Dogs for Deaf People

In October 2024 my son was partnered with a wonderful hearing dog called Kimi. She has had an amazing impact on his life and been a positive influence on our whole family. We are so grateful to Hearing Dogs for Deaf People and the fantastic volunteers that help train these incredible dogs. 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.
