Having cheered on participants in the Great South Run as they passed the Cathedral and Deanery, I have (rashly) decided that this year I will have a go myself!  To spur me on, I will also be raising money for the National Deaf Children’s Society (NDCS).  When our third child was born with a hearing impairment, it was a worrying time as we had no experience of deafness in children and were fearful of what life would be like for him.  Discovering the NDCS was a real lifeline for us.  They provided invaluable support and advice, as well as helping us to see how our son could thrive and reach his potential.  

Although there were many obstacles to overcome, he has grown into a flourishing adult and we are so grateful for the part the NDCS played in this.  I want to help support the NDCS in continuing its vital work with deaf children and their families. On Sunday 20 October I’d grateful for your cheers and waves, and if you felt able to sponsor me as well that would be hugely appreciated.  My fundraising page can be found here:
