Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

During one of my 'Senior' moments, I agreed to Swim with Sharks at the Blue Planet Aquarium in Ellesmere Port, Liverpool, for Hearing Dogs for Deaf People - there must be an easier way to raise money!  However, I'm committed now to swimming with Tiger sharks up to 10ft long and 350lbs in weight, and am looking forward to that close encounter ...

I'll be spending up to 30 minutes in the open aquarium - not in a cage - but don't worry, I do get some training on the day!  Photos will be available post event.

Hearing Dogs for Deaf People is a fantastic charity that helps deaf people to find the confidence to have a more enriched life with the help of a four-legged companion.  Take a look at their Blog to find out more by clicking here.

It would be great if you could support this worthy cause by making a donation - small or large - it will make a huge difference to a deaf person's life.

And don't forget to add Gift Aid - if you're a UK taxpayer, please remember to tick the Gift Aid box as this will increase your donation by at least 25% at no extra cost to you.

Thanks for your support and wish me luck!
