Raising money for

Deafblind UK

Charity Registration No. 802976

Deafblindness is one of the most challenging disabilities that a person can endure, and has been described as ‘the loneliest condition in the world’ Established in 1928, Deafblind UK is a national charity offering people across the UK living with Deafblindness, or a combined sight and hearing loss, practical daily-living support and access to vital information. Each deafblind person is unique, and sometimes has complicated needs; often their deafblindness is combined with other disabilities, so a care programme can be very complex. By providing human support in the form of help at home, communication and mobility support, counselling, together with specially adaptive equipment, we help deafblind people achieve their full potential, whatever that may be.

My story

Well it's about that time of year again where I decide to do something vaguely athletic with the aim of raising a bit of money for charity!

This year (due to the number of requests that I do something in which I will most certainly not be wearing a mankini!) I've opted for the Great North Swim. For those of you who don't know (I imagine most) - it's a mile swim in lake windermere. "Surely you could do this in a mankini!", I hear you cry? Well actually no, they recommend a full wetsuit and actually won't let you in the water without one if the water isn't quite warm enough.

The charity I'm raising money for this year is Deafblind uk: for more information about this charity visit: http://www.deafblind.org.uk/

Needless to say, it's a very worthy cause!

Thanks for taking the time to look at this page, and please take a little bit longer to donate.

Cheers.
