Sarah and HD Albert - Morecambe Bay Walk 2022
Fundraising for Hearing Dogs For Deaf People
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
After completing our 28 challenge back in February, we are itchy to do another challenge again!
We have signed up to do a challenge walk by crossing the sands across Morecambe Bay to raise funds for Hearing Dogs for Deaf People on Saturday 23rd July.
Starting from Arnside and ending at Grange-over-Sands, this guided walk crosses the sands through the channels of the Kent River.
We will be walking with the group under the guidance of Michael Wilson who is the experienced and knowledge Queen’s Guide.
Hearing dogs are highly trained to alert deaf people to important and life-saving sounds, such as the smoke alarm, alarm clocks and even intruder alarms and baby monitors. They also provide lots of love, companionship and emotional support, which is really important as many deaf people can feel lonely and isolated.
There are so many little costs that all add up when training one of these amazing animals to become life-changing companions. In total, it costs £25,000 to fully train an accredited hearing dog, so by doing this challenge walk is a great way to raise funds to train more dogs.
Hearing Dogs receive no central government funding which means that they rely on amazing supporters, sponsorships and fundraising.

Albert is absolutely amazing and so clever, and I don't know what Iwould do without him. He has given me the confidence to achieve things that I wouldn't have done without him. He has changed my life totally, and he has made me a more confident person, he has made me visible! He’s my ears, my best friend, my companion, my whole world and I love him to bits. It’s all thanks to Hearing Dogs, it is a fantastic charity.
I know we are living through a difficult time so if you could donate any amount even a £1, that would be fantastic! All money will go directly to Hearing Dogs, to help them train life-changing hearing dogs to help deaf people, like Albert with me.
Please feel free to share our page to your family and friends. The more donations we get, the more they train life-changing hearing dogs to help deaf people to leave loneliness behind, by having their best friend by their side ❤
Thank you for your support, and we are looking forward to do this challenge!
