Collaborating colleagues run the London Marathon for Deafness Research UK

A regional manager from Beckenham in Kent is hoping that undertaking this year’s London Marathon in aid of Deafness Research UK will be a real achievement, both for himself, the Charity and the colleagues he is running with.

Ricky Dummer, 26, works for PC Werth, a company who supply hearing impaired equipment, so he has been aware for a long time of the important work undertaken by Deafness Research UK and was keen to help the charity in any way he could.

“Taking part in the London Marathon has been an ambition for a number of years,” said Ricky, “and I feel that completing it will be a real personal achievement. I don't have a target time to run it, but I am looking to raise at least £1,500 for Deafness Research UK.”

Ricky is running the Marathon together with two other colleagues, who are also looking to raise money for Deafness Research UK and by doing so, give hope to the millions of people up and down the country who live with a hearing impairment.
