The Minster Vets team of 9 (Becki, Tristan, Sammie, Megan, Max, Anna, Victoria, Lucy and Jenny) have come together to try and raise money for the fantastic Hearing Dogs for Deaf People Charity, by running the Great North Run on September 8th 2024. Grueling training for the half marathon is well underway, and I think some of the team are already regretting their decision!

However, knowing that we will be helping a charity that is making such a difference to peoples lives, is definitely making it easier!

At hearing dogs, they train dogs to alert deaf people to important and life-saving sounds they would otherwise miss – such as the smoke alarm, alarm clock and even a baby's cry. Being aware of these – thanks to a hearing dog – makes a real difference to deaf people’s lives, and can even save them.

Deafness can be a very isolating disability. A hearing dog provides lots of love, companionship and emotional support. The amazing dogs help deaf children and adults to leave this loneliness behind and reconnect with life.
