About my charity : Deafblind UK Deafblind UK
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 personal message:

Many thanks to all who have sponsored me.

Incredibly I have raised the grand total of an unbelievable £737.20 thanks to your very generous support.

It means a lot to Deafblind UK and also to me as I know that they will put the money to good use supporting other Deafblind people in the community.

My zip slide was a great adventure and for a short time i really thought i could fly.  It was quite daunting climbing over the Tyne Bridge and standing on a small ledge ready to place my trust in perfect strangers and a wire, neither of which i could see.  Even though we had a few communication problems, as I had to remove my impant and therefore could not hear, it was quite funny when i remembered later what had happened while i was waiting to go.  I'd like to do it all over again but i'll wait for a while before i try.

Thanks again for your support
