I will be running the 2010 Virgin London Marathon for Hearing Dogs for Deaf People and need YOUR help to raise as much money as possible for this brilliant cause.

I am putting myself through a grueling 12 month training schedule in preparation for running the 26.2 miles that is the London Marathon and will deeply appreciate any donations whatever size - EVERY PENNY COUNTS!!

Hearing Dogs for Deaf People trains dogs to alert their deaf owners to sounds such as the alarm clock, telephone or smoke alarm.

Whenever possible they use dogs from rescue centres.

Over half a million people in the UK experience severe or profound hearing loss - and could potentially benefit from a hearing dog.
