Hi,
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page, as many of you will know I was never keen on running until I starting Army Bootcamp Fitness classes last year, since then I have run in three 5km races and the time has come to move on to a 10k!
People will also know, I am a swimming teacher at the weekend and on a weekly basis have taught a little boy called Oliver- both his parents are deaf and I therefore feel this charity is very close to home.
Hearing dogs are easily recognisable by their distinctive burgundy jacket and lead slips, which helps to identify the recipient’s otherwise ‘invisible’ disability, bringing increased peace of mind for the deaf person. Deafness can be a very isolating and lonely disability, a hearing dog can offer a life-transforming practical alternative to technical equipment and give the recipient greater independence, increased confidence, companionship and a feeling of security. Any money you can spare to this amazing cause would be appreciated. Thanks!
