‘I can’t wait to get up the BT Tower and support the millions of people in the UK with a hearing loss. I was quite young when my dad lost his hearing and I fully appreciate the day to day barriers that people with a hearing loss face. I trained as a British Sign Language (BSL) interpreter, and I've worked within the deaf community for years and am really looking forward to charging up the tower with lots of other energetic fundraisers.

‘It’s a charity close to my heart and I jumped at the chance to take part in this climb. I’m really looking forward to raising money and awareness to improve the lives of those with hearing loss.’
