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.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I ran the GNR for Hearing Dogs for Deaf People last year, and at the end they let me pat a nice dog. I wish to repeat the experience. And raise money for this fantastic charity.

I said I'd never do another marathon after my first (and I assured everyone, my last) in 2013. It was the hardest thing I'd ever done. But then I was diagnosed with cancer. Now in remission, my perspective has changed somewhat. The best moments in life come when you've truly earned something. And I want to conquer the Yorkshire Marathon in under 4 hours, just to say that I can.
