Siblings to raise money for National Deaf Children's Society in honour of baby sister

Two young sisters will be taking part in a fundraising walk with their family and friends. Sisters Olive, five, and Eden, four, will be taking part in a Santa Walk at Shipley Park, Ilkeston on Sunday, December 11, to raise money and awareness of the National Deaf Children's Society in honour of their baby sister.

Clemie, who is almost two years old, was born prematurely and diagnosed with Pierre Robin Sequence at birth, which resulted in respiratory issues, a cleft palate and moderate conductive hearing loss, and so she wears a bone anchored hearing aid. Their mum, Jodie Roberts-Dadley, 36, of Hucknall, said: "It's really had an impact on our family, and we have a good little community.

"We have a few mums that come together that go to a deaf group that is run by Hear Together. The National Deaf Children's Society has done so much for us as a family, we have weekly sessions with them and they teach us sign language and answer all the questions that we need answering."
