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 Hearing Dogs for Deaf People provide practical support services for those with hearing loss and train more life-changing hearing dogs for people that need them.

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.

The average lifetime cost of a hearing dog is £70,000. This includes breeding, training, applicant support, placement and ongoing partnership support, through to retirement and succession planning. Any donation, however large or small, will really help.

Thank you.

Not so sunny one today!

Saturday 10th Oct
A bit of rain won’t stop the progress!

Pre work walk by the river

Monday 5th Oct
Nice there and back walk by the River, another 3miles down

Day 3, quick walk round the park

Saturday 3rd Oct
So the sun is shining and while Holly is doing dance exam practice I went for a stroll round Hillsborough Park - another 2.75km down only 119km to go. Hoping for a long walk tomorrow.

Day 2 - between morning meetings

Friday 2nd Oct
A quick walk through the village - another 2.4KM down, only 121.7 to go!

Kicking off

Thursday 1st Oct
Since my daughter no longer requires me to do the school run, I’ve been struggling to find the time to walk, so this months hearing dog challenge has given me some much needed motivation. Day 1 and the search for the missing school bus pass gave me no excuse. After a gentle searching almost 2k, I returned feeling good but sadly empty handed - steps 3383 by 8:30 and that’s more than the whole of yesterday! 💪💪💪
