I am raising money for Hearing Dogs for Deaf People by doing the 28 Challenge!

Every penny I raise will help more hearing dog puppies to be trained, so that one day they can transform a deaf persons life.

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.

At the age of 20 I found out that I needed hearing aids and from then on the world as I knew it changed.

I wished at the time I knew about helpful charities such as this one, not only has Hearing Dogs For Deaf People helped ease my mind with answers and given me hope for the future. They have helpful information, people to talk to and offer things such as lanyards with Hard of hearing or Deaf on it. These especially have eased my nerves for when I go out and do things like order at a cafe or pay for shopping.

I believe charities like these need more recognition for the work they do as you don’t always think of them unless you have someone with hearing loss close to you.

It costs £25,000 to fully train a hearing dog, so the 28 Challenge is a great way to raise funds to train more dogs. Any donation, however large or small, will really help.

Thank you.
