Connor’s Walk for Talk 2021

Walk for Talk is a virtual fundraising event to support Northern Voices and young children with hearing loss.

Connor is now 2.5 years old. He was born with bilateral profound hearing loss. As hearing parents and having an 8-year old daughter with no family history of hearing loss, we were filled with all kinds of emotions when Connor was finally diagnosed. All sorts of thoughts ran though our minds- will he be able to talk, will he live a normal life- can he drive and live an independent life?.... As parents we were afraid and grieved- grieved for the hearing child we were expecting.

Connor was bilaterally implanted with cochlears in September 2019. He is an amazing little boy and proved that the sky is the limit! We enrolled him in Northern Voices this past September and couldn’t be more happy. We can’t get him to be quiet now! He is learning so many different words and amazes us each day. The staff at Northern Voices has been a blessing and we are so grateful for them.

Please consider donating. Every dollar raised is reinvested in family scholarships and programming.

Thank you!
