Penny (Age 9) is raising money for this brilliant cause by taking part in the 28 day challenge. Penny is raising money for Hearing Dogs for Deaf People.

Penny has chosen to complete 28 acts of kindness each day throughout February, we'll keep you posted on here with Penny's progress. Some of Penny's ideas so far are litter picking in the village, having a sort out of clothes and toys to donate to charity, donating some dog food to a charity, writing letters to her Great Grandma, helping her Grandma with chores, baking cakes for neighbours and lots more!

Penny was born with a permanent hearing loss and now wears two bone conducting hearing aids. This is a cause very close to Penny's heart as she is such an animal lover and adores her two dogs Teddy & Jessie.

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.

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.
