I'm raising money for Hearing Dogs for Deaf People. I currently work with year 2 girl who is deaf, she's fabulous but finds school really tricky. She has so much personality and I get a lot of pleasure from helping her. So I've decided to take on the thi

This February I am taking part in the 28 Challenge, and every pound I raise, will help train more life-changing hearing dogs for deaf people.

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 by taking part in The 28 Challenge, I am helping to raise funds to train more dogs. Any donation, however large or small, will really help.

Thank you.

Ps I am currently working a lot with a year 2 girl who is deaf and wears hearing aids in both ears. She's amazing, full of personality but finds her learning really tricky and as a result can sometimes make the wrong choices,I love her tho! When I saw this Challenge on FB I instantly thought of her and thought what an amazing cause to raise funds for. Also being an absolute dog lover it just seemed right. 

Thank you everyone 💓
