I will be completing a Step Challenge to raise awareness and fundraise for the British Tinnitus Association, the only national charity specialising in tinnitus support.
I’ve had Tinnitus since August 2019 and the early weeks were awful and really affected my mental health.
I hear a high pitch ringing 24/7 with no breaks, it’s the annoying sound that no one else can hear - it can be a lonely place.
With some help and a lot of determination to not let tinnitus control or define my life, I am now in a much much better place, however it breaks my heart when I speak to people new to tinnitus who are deeply suffering and receive little or no support from their GP.
Ideally I’d like to raise £150 to help the British Tinnitus association to keep doing what they are doing, as they do not receive any direct funding from the government the support they provide can only be offered by fundraisers and donors!
