Story

Hey guys!!! Thanks for coming to my donation page!!

As you know I'm going to be running my 5th Great North Run this year and for Action on Hearing Loss. I chose them due to personal reasons, the money given to these guys helps those suffering hearing loss like myself have access to equipment that helps in everyday life, even if it's just a phone or tinnitus, something I get everyday.

You all know I had a cochlear implant a few years back, without this I would not have gained the confidence I have today, I probably wouldn't have passed my university course, because sadly, my hearing was getting worse and worse. Thanks to the amazing technology, research, surgeons, nurses, audiologist's and Action on Hearing Loss, I had the chance to make better of my life, for which I am forever grateful. 

Action on Hearing Loss has also made massive steps in the research they have been doing in order to find a cure for hearing impairment, last year they had the massive breakthrough of restoring hearing in an animal through the use of stem cells. Here's more info; http://www.actiononhearingloss.org.uk/your-hearing/biomedical-research.aspx

Seriously, a penny would be appreciated. When i was in New Zealand i flung meself out of a plane... well a man strapped to me with a parachute flung me out of a plane. But this shows commitment right guys?!?!?!? i'm working super hard so pleaseand thanks :)
