Fundraise

“It is far more than a neurological or physical condition. The effect it has on mental health cannot be understated. There’s no cure right now, but with your help, we can contribute to the demand for more investment in tinnitus research and its causes, as well as funding for Tinnitus UK whose support has been invaluable.”

“I still have difficult days, but I’ve also learned how to cope better and appreciate what my body can do. Running has become a huge part of that, a way to clear my head, feel stronger, and turn a difficult experience into something positive.

That’s why I’ve decided to run the Plymouth Half Marathon for Tinnitus UK. This will be my first challenge for the charity, but it won’t be my last. I want to help raise awareness, support vital research, and contribute to making tinnitus better understood. Being able to support this amazing charity truly means so much to me, and I’d be incredibly grateful for any donations or support along the way.”

“We are raising money for Tinnitus UK who are a charity that rely solely on donations and receive no direct government funding.

Your donation, regardless of size offers hope.

Tinnitus is a condition that is close to us as a family with dad having lived with it for all of his adult life.

Tinnitus UK offer support for those living with tinnitus.

Thank you 💙”
