Story

Hi all, and thanks for visiting my fundraising page. I did the Great North Run a number of years ago, when I was much younger, and when I crossed the finish line and met up with my wife, Sharon, I distinctly remember telling her never to let me be so stupid again. Well, here I am! So what's changed? Well, I'm obviously still stupid, and it may be an age thing, but I just want to put something back, if you know what I mean. If you don't know what I mean, that's cool also, but whatever, I'd really appreciate it if you sponsored me.

Thanks very much and remember to look out for me on the 5th October with friends with whom I'll be running - I'll be the one wearing the ears and tail, somewhere near the back of the field!

About the charity

Hearing Dogs for Deaf People trains dogs to alert deaf people to important and life-saving sounds such as the smoke alarm, alarm clock, intruder alarms and baby monitors. These amazing dogs also help deaf people to leave loneliness behind by providing love, companionship and emotional support.
