I'm raising money for Hearing Dogs for Deaf People

This October, I'm taking part in The Great British Dog Walk. Every mile I walk, 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 Great British Dog Walk, I am helping to raise funds to train more dogs. Any donation, however large or small, will really help.

Thank you.

Day 4

Sunday 5th Oct
So today the weather was better so Aero had a more social walk with his BFF Toby and then supported Elliot who was playing rugby.  The GBDW isn’t just about getting from A to B as quickly as possible it’s about the journey and the people you meet along the way 🐾❤️

Saturday 4th Oct
So we braved the weather but Aero opted to cut it short in favour of a duvet day!  However, every little counts!

Day 2

Friday 3rd Oct
Only two miles today as it was more of a ‘leisurely stroll’ with my HD friends 🐾
