Hearing Dogs for Deaf People trains dogs to alert deaf people to important and life-saving sounds such as the smoke alarm, alarm clock, intruder alarms and baby monitors. These amazing dogs also help deaf people to leave loneliness behind by providing love, companionship and emotional support.

Story

Hello and thank you so much for sponsoring me.

As you know I'm doing the Great North Run again this year and I'm running for Hearing Dogs for Deaf People.

Many of you will be aware that my hearing isn't great and I suffer moderate hearing loss and tinnitus. This has made me really aware of the importance of hearing and how difficult it must be to have severe or profound hearing loss. Hearing Dogs for Deaf People help to train dogs to assist and provide valuable companionship for people in this position.

The charity trains rescued or donated dogs therefore ensuring a happy life for often unwanted dogs. If any of you have ever met our gorgeous RSPCA rescue dog Max, you'll know that this is also something that I care about. I am hoping to visit one of the Hearing Dogs satellite training centres in Bielby near York to see exactly what goes on behind the scenes and when I do I'll post some photos on this page so you can see exactly where your money is going.

So...please use JustGiving to ensure that I can raise as much money as possible for Hearing Dogs so that quality of life for many can be improved with the help of a fluffy-pawed companion!

Thank you so much,

Caroline
