I am raising money for Hearing Dogs for Deaf People by doing the 28 Challenge!

I aim to Draw/Paint or Sew a Dog each day during February. I will follow the alphabet doing a dog portrait for each letter but will add a few strays!To make 28! The original artworks will be available for purchase too.

This challenge is for me too as I suffer from ME which means I am exhausted most of the time. For the last 18 months I haven't been doing any art so I am hoping this challenge will reignite my love of drawing and painting.

Every penny I raise will help more hearing dog puppies to be trained, so that one day they can transform a deaf persons life.

Hearing dogs are highly trained to alert deaf people to important and life-saving sounds, such as the smoke alarm, alarm clocks and even intruder alarms and baby monitors. They also provide lots of love, companionship and emotional support, which is really important as many deaf people can feel lonely and isolated.

It costs £25,000 to fully train a hearing dog, so the 28 Challenge is a great way to raise funds to train more dogs. Any donation, however large or small, will really help.

Thank you.
