My Story

Having supported my wife and daughter at the London marathon twice each it is now my turn to run this year. I'm really excited to experience the atmosphere myself and am hoping it will help get me round. I will be running to raise money for the charity Hear Together which my wife has been involved with since it's creation.

Hear Together is an incredible charity which is so worth supporting and it's an honour to be running for them. The work Hear Together does has a high impact upon everyone it engages with. It creates a life long community for deaf children and their families who are wearing hearing technology to 'Live Well with Hearing Loss'. I've seen the really important work they do first hand and I'm delighted to be raising money for a small charity where every £1 is vital and who's work is so life changing.

The money donated will all go towards the amazing work Hear Together does, not only locally in Nottingham, but also nationally across the UK, such as:

• Social, learning and wellbeing activities to bring people together (activity days for deaf children and teenagers, deaf Baby & Toddler group)
• Hear2Help adult services
• Raising awareness of hearing technologies
• Raising awareness within the hearing community for how to communicate with and include deaf people
