My name is Clare Phillips, I'm 45 yrs old, have 3 children and a West Highland Terrier as my lovely dog. I work full time as a self employed hairdresser which I luckily enjoy very much. 

I also run for fitness, freedom and challenge and I've given myself the biggest running challenge for myself yet. I have chosen to take part and run in the Stirling Marathon 2017 starting from Blair Drummond and finishing near Stirling Castle. 

I've chosen this organisation because deafness is very close to my heart.My beautiful niece was born profoundly deaf and due to the fact of advanced technology and fabulous parenting with support on excessive speech and language, she has progressed to a fabulous bright hearing 6 year old!!! 

I am delighted to be able to support this organisation as it makes me excited to know that I will be helping to support other families with deaf children.
