I am sure that everyone who sees this will know that I'm involved with this charity and that I am a Stud Dog holder with the handsome Hugo.

My Challenge consists of baking a different Pasty for each day of February (actually 29 this year). I have done this for the past 2 years and it has proved popular. At the end of the Challenge I will auction off the pasties. Also the "half" pasties go to Hearing Dog staff.

I hope you enjoy my posts as much as I do making them.

I've attached photos of some of last year's pasties to give you the general idea.

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

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.
