Lincoln 10k for Hearing Dogs for Deaf People!
Hi all! I've decided to run the 2026 Lincoln 10k to raise money for 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 the challenge I am taking on is a great way to raise funds to train more dogs.
I've never done a run this length before but am really looking forward to the challenge.
Any donation you could make would make a huge difference and allow more dogs to change more lives.
Thank you!

Final week prep!
Monday 6th Apr Only 6 days to go! 😱 Chose to taper today's training run with it likely being the last one before the big day - a comparable sprint at 4 miles but still feeling good. Realistically I think the target time is going to take a big push on the day; hopefully I can harness the support from the crowd and make a big run at it (pun intended 🤣). But blimey, even if I don't make it, the enjoyment of the run and knowing where the donations are going will both be a wonderful silver lining.
It's finally getting warmer!
Wednesday 25th Feb Upped the training to four miles and wanted to raise it further at the weekend but underestimated the change in weather...
Thank you to everyone!
