As many of you know, I am losing my hearing.  While this isn't a problem in my life (because I am in Deaf Education), it is a problem for communication.  Without my hearing aids, I would not be able to talk to my mom, hear my daughter, enjoy music fully, or function the way that I do.  While some people believe that hearing aids aren't necessary to live a fulfilling life, and I agree, for me, that description doesn't fit.  I love hearing.  I love accessing sound.   However... I HATE the cost of hearing aids.  Currently, I am sitting with 2 broken hearing aids.  The cost for me will be about $5000 to replace and that cost can't be made in payments... BUT THIS ISN'T ABOUT ME. This is about another person who needs support to reduce the burden of the cost of purchasing hearing aids.

I am lucky to have the ability to purchase hearing aids at the cost of $1000 for two (!) through Sertoma's Hearing Aid Project.  Will you help me provide the gift of hearing aids to someone who needs them just as much as me?  My goal is to raise $1000 by March 22, when I run Ragner Tennessee in honor of my hearing aid recipient.  Anyone who gives a gift of $10 or more will get a special place on my "sponsor" running gear.   Decorate me with your name as I run for my recipient to hear!!!
