Twin Cities Walk4Hearing is on June 2, 2024
By Mark Daly with Laura Hagemann
Do you personally know someone who is deaf or hard of hearing? Almost everyone does. In fact, 48 million Americans have some degree of hearing loss. That’s one out of every seven people in the United States! Hearing loss affects many people in our lives, it may even affect you. HLAA-TC Director-At-Large Mark Daly knows firsthand what experiencing hearing loss is like: “I began experiencing significant hearing loss in my early 30s, and so I know how debilitating it can be when you simply can’t hear what others are saying.”
Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA) is having a 5K Walk at Como Park in St. Paul, MN – SUNDAY, JUNE 2, 2024 – and everyone is welcome!
What can you expect? All sorts of fun and games, a little exercise, great conversations, and tons of information, support and resources to help our neighbors and loved ones who are challenged by hearing loss.
Perhaps the best part of all this is the opportunity to form teams to raise funds for hearing health and support people on their journey with hearing loss. Join HLAA and HLAA-TC (the local chapter of HLAA), hearing care professionals and our nonprofit and business partners committed to helping every person with hearing loss thrive simply by walking around Como Park. Bring your family, friends, and co-workers.
