I'm raising money for Hearing Dogs for Deaf People
I am profoundly deaf. I am very lucky to be partnered with my hearing dog Holly. Our partnership started in March 2025. Holly has already made a massive impact on my life.
This October, I'm taking part in The Great British Dog Walk. Because I know the positive impact an hearing dog has on deaf people. Every mile I walk, and every pound I raise, will help train more life-changing hearing dogs for deaf people like me.
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.
