Please Help Me Get To LA For The 2015 Marathon
$3,000 needed to cover my flight, food and lodging


“I was born with a severe-to-profound hearing loss. I wore hearing aids since I was one-year old,  then  I researched the cochlear implant when I was a young adult and wanted the opportunity to improve my hearing ability.

My speech has improved since my implant and it has given me more confidence in myself.

I have always been competitive, from playing Division I Field Hockey and Division II Softball in college. I recently found a passion in participating in triathalons, competing in three in August in Upstate New York.

I have been asked to represent HearStrong Foundation in the LA Marathon. Please help me raise the funds to get there…… 

On September 14, the HearStrong Foundation celebrated HearStrong Champion Danielle Strassle at the 2014 Buffalo Bills Alumni Foundation VIP Tailgate event outside Ralph Wilson Stadium in Buffalo, NY.

Nominated by Hearing Evaluation Services of Buffalo, a selected provider of EarQ, the main sponsor of the HearStrong Foundation and a member discount program provider of the NFL Players Association, Strassle was diagnosed with severe-to-profound hearing loss as an infant. Her early utilization of hearing devices and technology allowed her the confidence to experience her life on her terms and reach her athletic goals. This summer alone, Strassle has completed three triathlons.


“As an amazing triathlete, Danielle is a wonderful example of how choosing to utilize hearing technology to hear better is a decision made out of strength, not weakness,” said Ed Keller, founder of the HearStrong Foundation. “We are so proud to have the opportunity to celebrate her efforts and further hearing health education alongside an organization as impactful as the Buffalo Bills Alumni Foundation.”
