My dad was profoundly deaf for most of his adult years, but it didn't stop him enjoying a full and active life with the help of his hearing aids! A few years ago I enrolled in a course to learn BSL (British Sign Language) and since then I have been helping to act as interpreter for my friend Karina who has been deaf since birth.
I feel truly blessed to enjoy good health and to have full use of all my senses and other body parts :-) But I am conscious that there are many others not quite as fortunate as me, so I'd like to do my bit to help make their lives a little easier.
I'm swimming, cycling and walking 250 miles in 12 weeks to raise funds for The Hearing Fund UK. The money will be used to purchase musical instruments and to pay for deaf children to experience the joy of music. I would be very grateful if you could help by making a small donation. Thank you!
