Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On Saturday 12th September 2015 I will be taking part in The Thames Path Challenge, walking 50km (30 miles) from Runnymede to Henley.

I've chosen hearing dogs as my charity because I'm fascinated by the way dogs can be trained to help people with disabilities and in particular those with hearing loss. As many of you know I have profound hearing loss on one side (ie completely deaf!) and moderate to severe hearing loss on the other boosted by a hearing aid but I manage fairly well (apart from not being able to hear my alarm clock or knowing the direction sounds are coming from!). So I'm combining my admiration for the jobs these dogs do with my love of walking and have set myself a challenge to walk further in a day than I've ever walked before! Your sponsorship will encourage me every step of the way! 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails.

About the charity

Hearing Dogs for Deaf People trains dogs to alert deaf people to important and life-saving sounds such as the smoke alarm, alarm clock, intruder alarms and baby monitors. These amazing dogs also help deaf people to leave loneliness behind by providing love, companionship and emotional support.
