We train amazing hearing dogs to transform the lives of deaf people

Story

I had a new hip in 2013 & want to mark becoming 80 years old  by walking from London to Portsmouth visiting the sites of the 16 Semaphore telegraph stations that existed between 1822 & 1847. 

My father became totally deaf when I was 10 & was helped by his (untrained) dog, Scruff. 

I want to raise money to help people like my Dad.

My children are walking this with me.
