I'm raising money for Hearing Dogs for Deaf People
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.
I was matched with my own Hearing Dog, a gorgeous cheeky black Labrador who goes by the name of Gerry! He came to me in November 2022 and my life has improved for the better thanks to him. He has really brought a light to my life and has made me feel less lonely as well as raising important deaf awareness to everyone we meet. I want to give back to the charity because they put so much work into training dogs and matching them with people like me. I cannot imagine life without Gerry.
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.

Information about our Challenge!
Tuesday 20th Jan Hello there! So this year we are participating in the 28 Challenge again! In previous years we have done walks but this year will be slightly different. We live in Edinburgh, Scotland, so our aim is to visit a postcode area in and around Edinburgh, starting with EH1 and finishing with EH28! We will visit these areas and share with you different landmarks or places of interest, in case you decide to visit Edinburgh in the future! Disclaimer: I’m not being paid to advertise these visits; just simply want to share with you different places. I’ll also show some examples of how HD Gerry works with me when we go to different places. Follow along here and on Gerry’s instagram: @hdgerry2022 - thank you for your support!Thank you to my Sponsors
