My Story

I've created this page because I want to make a difference for kids like my son Leo and other children born with hearing impairment. I'm inspired by the work of The Shepherd Centre - Giving deaf children a voice and wanted to support them by raising money as part of my participation in The 2018 Sun-Herald City2Surf presented by Westpac. Please help me help them by giving whatever you can using the 'Give Now' button. The more people that know about The Shepherd Centre - Giving deaf children a voice, the greater their impact, so please also spread the word by sharing my page with your friends and family. Thank you in advance for your generosity, it means a lot!

The Shepherd Centre - Giving deaf children a voice

For close to 50 years, The Shepherd Centre has been helping children who are deaf or have a hearing loss to learn how to listen and speak. Founded in 1970 with just five families, The Shepherd Centre now helps over 500 families in our five centres and through our teleintervention program across NSW, Tasmania and the ACT.

The Shepherd Centre’s aim is to assist deaf or hearing impaired children reach their full potential and be a fully contributing member of the community. Recognised as a leader in the field of Speech Therapy, the organisation works with the child, their family and carers to help each child develop spoken language.

Since inception, The Shepherd Centre has assisted over 2,500 children and their families. The vast majority of children who graduate from The Shepherd Centre’s programs enter mainstream school with speech and language skills typically on par with their hearing classmates.

Support from the community provides almost 70% of the much needed funds to provide these programs to our students. Fundraising for The Shepherd Centre will help us to continue our life-changing work.
