Hi

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On the 11th of May I will be hiking the Yorkshire 3 peaks which is a 24 mile route and includes 1585m (5200ft) of ascent.

The Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge takes on the peaks of Pen-y-Ghent (694 metres), Whernside (736 metres) and Ingleborough (723 metres), usually in this order, and in under 12 hours. I will be taking on this challenge with my wife , brother in law and our dog Star

I am raising money for Hearing Dogs For Deaf People which is a fantastic charity, they train dogs to alert deaf people to important and life-saving sounds they would otherwise miss – such as the smoke alarm, alarm clock and even a baby's cry. Being aware of these – thanks to a hearing dog – makes a real difference to deaf people’s lives, and can even save them.

I work for Contacta who are a company which specialise in hearing loops and assistive listening systems , so I understand the importance of being able to hear clearly and this can be life changing . Deaf awareness week is from the 5th -11th of May so this a good time to donate to make a real difference .

Many thanks !!

James
