The Great British Dog Walk 2025

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.

It’s official — tomorrow I begin

🐾 The Great British Dog Walk Begins – With Zena by My Side It’s official — tomorrow I begin The Great British Dog Walk! I’m walking to raise money for **Hearing Dogs for Deaf People**, a charity that trains amazing dogs to support deaf people by alerting them to important sounds. Here’s my beautiful hearing dog **Zena** — she’s more than just a helper. She’s been my rock. ![Zena in the woods, ready to walk!](your-photo-here) Zena helps me every day — she lets me know when someone’s at the door, if a timer goes off, or even if the fire alarm sounds. But even more than that, she’s given me independence, safety, and friendship. She’s always there for me. Over the past year, Zena has been a huge support for my **mental health** and **wellbeing**, especially while coping with **bereavement**. Getting outside with her, breathing in the fresh air, and walking together has helped me in so many ways. Now I want to give back — so more people can have their lives changed by dogs like Zena. If you’re able to **sponsor** me or even just share a few kind words, I’d be so grateful. Every bit of support helps raise awareness and funds for this life-changing charity. Thank you 💜
