Kind-hearted Kiwis are being asked to make a difference by laying off sugar next month.
The Hearing House - which helps give young deaf children the gift of hearing - is among charities to benefit from FabFeb, which invites people to go sugar-free for a month.
It aims to raise $10 million for charities which provide life-changing assistance for children with physical and intellectual disabilities.
For FabFeb supporter Rochae Slattery-Holtz, raising money for The Hearing House will be especially poignant because the charity helped her daughter Peyton, 21 months, who was born profoundly deaf.
