Ladies and Gentlemen,
Thank you very much for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.
As a training Audiologist I am fortunate to work with people everyday who have trouble with their hearing. It is our link to the world around us and it's difficult to imagine a world without sound. However, it needn't be like that for those people. New state of the art hearing aids are helping more people than ever before and cochlear implants are helping children who were born into a world without sound.
As part of my training i've also been doing a few half marathons for charity. My first was the Sussex Beacon Half Marathon in Brighton. This was a great success as I think it actually rained for the whole 2 hours! Anyway not to be deterred, I completed the Silverstone race track Half Marathon, 19th March, and am in training for the Reading Half Marathon, 9th April. Wish me luck and good weather!
You can help by spending a few minutes registering with 'justgiving' and making a donation - it's much easier than running.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me. The RNID will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
If you're having difficulty getting past the "confirm donation" page, you can donate by telephoning Justgiving on 0845 021 2110.
Many thanks for your kind support for me, the deaf and the hearing impaired.
John
