28 Challenge 2026

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.

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.

Why I have chosen to do this

Sunday 1st Feb
There are a couple of reasons I have decided to do this. 

First off, for anyone that doesn't know, I turned 40 recently. As part of that I have decided to do 40 things this year and as part of that I decided to take on the 28 Day Challenge. 

Why this particular challenge? 
Hearing Dogs is a charity very close to my heart. As someone who has had their life greatly improved by having a Hearing Assistance Dog, I cannot stress enough how important these dogs are and just what a difference they make to those of us that need them. 

My boy Rex is so much more than just my ears. He has filled a huge hole in my world, more so than I realised I needed. He brings me such love and joy. He helps me get through the bad days and helps me enjoy the good days. He is pure love, and I am beyond grateful to have him in my life. 

If I can help raise even just a small amount for Hearing Dogs so that others can be as fortunate as I am, then that will be an amazing thing. 

My challenge

Sunday 1st Feb
Hello all.

It took me a long time to work out what I wanted to do, or more importantly what I could do, but I finally have. 

I have decided to cross stitch small Christmas decorations and I have added a picture of some of the designs. I aim to do one a day for each of the 28 days, all being well. 

These will then be for sale to raise some extra funds for hearing dogs, should anyone want any of them.
