I am raising money for Hearing Dogs for Deaf People

Every penny I raise will help more hearing dog puppies to be trained, so that one day they can transform a deaf person's life.

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. Any donation, however large or small, will really help.

Thank you.

Oral accompaniment

Friday 28th Aug
What a silly boy I am.  My sisters have reminded me that there can only be one rendition whilst airborne across the Twickenham turf and that is "Swing Low Sweet Chariot." So I am trying out my basso profundo much to the  annoyance of all within earshot.  Physical preparations for the event are limited

Preparations Begin

Tuesday 18th Aug
Having taken up the challenge of traversing Twickers on a zip wire like a latter day "Peter Pan," I have begun thinking about what oral accompaniment is needed for the journey across the "hallowed" turf. Ahrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!! or Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! or Yipeeeeeeeeeeeee!! More work necessary.  Meanwhile,  Gina, who is hard of hearing really does not mind.
