Anybody willing to do their (big) bit?

Hello

I am writing to you on behalf of Hearing Dogs for Deaf People. The Charity is busy recruiting runners for this year’s Great North Run which takes place on Sunday 13th September and with the deadline for signing up fast approaching we still have a few spaces available. (Closing date first week of July)

We are asking community groups and businesses in this area to help us spread the word amongst your group or staff members and amongst family and friends, to help us fill our last few places.

Every year we have conversations with people after the deadline has passed who say; they really wanted to do the Great North Run, but didn’t get a place in the general ballot and weren’t sure which Charities still had spaces available.

So if you, or anybody in your group or place of work, is interested in taking part in the Great North Run this year but has not yet secured a place then please get in touch or pass on my details on to them. We really need your help to spread the word.

We can also accommodate groups who would like to run it together – so if you want to put a group together from your office colleagues, or set your group a challenge, then get in touch!

Hearing Dogs for Deaf People provide specially trained dogs to deaf people to help them with everyday sounds that hearing people take for granted. These very clever dogs provide life changing levels of independence, confidence and companionship to their deaf recipients.

If you, or someone you know, decide to sign up to the Great North Run in aid of Hearing Dogs, you will be helping to change lives too.

Thank you for your support

Yours sincerely

Gill Yeates (National Fundraising Manager)
