Megan and Rowley.
“There are so many harmful and negative stereotypes surrounding deafblindness, and I would like to prove them wrong!”

Megan, who is deafblind, is climbing Ben Nevis to fundraise for us this month. Her assistance dog, Rowley, will be by her side.

The pair have been hard at work training, and we can't wait to follow her journey! Megan is passionate about raising awareness of hidden disabilities like deafblindness - and we couldn't be happier that she's taken on this challenge to fundraise for us.
