Hello!

As some of you may know,  I spend a lot of time running in increasingly large circles but this time I'm doing it for a good reason!

I'm going to be running the Great North Run in support of Hearing Dogs for Deaf People, who do wonderful work training dogs who assist their owners, alerting them to important sounds, giving them more confidence and independence and also highlighting what can often be an invisible condition.

Here are some stories of the wonderful work these dogs can do:https://www.hearingdogs.org.uk/helping-deaf-people/stories/. Get donating!
