For Marilyn Kingdon, Athabasca University’s 2022 Volunteer Service Alumni Award winner, this is especially true. Although she has volunteered with many different organizations, much of her work has been with the Canadian Hard of Hearing Association (CHHA)—a cause that hits close to home.
Having suffered from hearing loss herself and having a sister and mother who were both born without hearing, she knows first-hand the kinds of impacts it can have on a person’s life.
“I’ve been involved with the organization for so many years because of that, that passion and just wanting to provide what I could to make the world a better place for all of us, so that hearing loss becomes something that is not so invisible any longer,” she said.
