"I love running for Hearing Dogs. Their post race reception is brilliant because there's a chance to meet the recipients and their hearing dogs and really see the difference your support can make." Ed Venables, aka Ed the Dog
Our team say...
“I just wanted to say thank you for the incredible support the Hearing Dogs team gave me (and others) at the London Marathon.
"I can't tell you the relief to see friendly faces at the end willing to carry my bags for me which seemed to increase in weight at every step!
"I'm sure the wonderful massage helped alleviate much of the pain I might have suffered the following day! Up until that point, the highlight of the day was the lovely Jonny Wilkinson handing me Lucozade at 24 miles - but Hearing Dogs' efforts to make us as comfortable as possible exceeded even that treat!” Susanne Lewtas
