Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running the Taunton Half Marathon on 1st March to raise money for RNID, a charity that supports people who are deaf, have hearing loss, or experience tinnitus.

As an audiologist and owner of Somerset Hearing, I see daily how hearing loss affects communication, confidence, and independence. It is often invisible, but it has a significant impact on people’s lives. RNID plays a crucial role in addressing this at a national level — through research, awareness, campaigning for better services, and practical support for those who need it.

This will be my first half marathon, and at 13.1 miles it is well beyond anything I have run before. Training has mostly been done in the evenings after my son has gone to bed, fitting around work and family life. It is a genuine personal challenge, and one I am pleased to be doing in support of a cause that closely aligns with my professional values.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast, and secure. Your donation goes directly to RNID, helping them continue their important work across the UK.

Thank you for your support — it is genuinely appreciated.
