Story

Hi, my name is Cohen and I am 11 years old. One of my favourite things to be is an Uncle to my new niece Thea who is seven weeks old.

Thea is profoundly deaf and it is important to me that she will always be able to talk to Uncle Coco.

I am too young for any official courses so I have set myself a challenge to learn 5 new signs per week for the 52 weeks of 2023!

I would like to raise money for The National Deaf Childrens Society as I learn and hope that my family and friends will sponsor me as I make progress and develop new language skills.

All money raised through this page goes direct to my chosen charity and you can top up your donation by clicking the Gift Aid box. There are more details below.

I have never done anything like this before and know that it will get more difficult as the weeks go by but I will try my very best to stick to my pledge. I will post regular videos to show my progress so please do cheer me on :)
