Everyone with a hearing loss, family, friends, health care professionals / educators / students, and members of the local community are invited to CHHA Vancouver’s 14th annual 2km / 5km Walk2Hear fundraiser.

This year, one of our board members is ready to run the route with anyone interested in a little more of a challenge! All abilities of walkers and runners are welcome. The walk/run takes place on a wide dirt path at Jericho Beach Park.

Walk2Hear is a wonderful opportunity to meet others in the hearing loss community, and to support accessibility, local connections, education, and advocacy. 

CHHA Vancouver Branch is a consumer-based, non-profit, self-help organization working with hard of hearing consumers and their support networks to decrease isolation and remove barriers to hearing loss by providing: supportive environments, education, resources, referrals, and advocacy. CHHA works cooperatively with professionals, service providers, government bodies, and provides information about hard of hearing issues and solutions.

Funds raised go to support the work of the Vancouver Branch of the Canadian Hard of Hearing Association, and donations over $10 will receive a tax receipt.
