Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
April 17th 2011 I will be running the London Marathon for Auditory Verbal
Auditory Verbal is a national charity which teaches deaf babies and children to listen and speak using Auditory Verbal Therapy, so that they can achieve their potential in life. A deaf baby is born in the UK every 12 hours. In early years, children with a hearing impairment are given access to sound through hearing aids and cochlear implants, but need to be taught during infancy how to listen and communicate. After three years of parent-focused Auditory Verbal Therapy, over 80% of the deaf and hearing-impaired children will close the language gap and enter mainstream school.
Jake started auditory verbal therapy when he was 3 months old and has been until he was 5 years old. AV has taught Jake to learn through listening and given us the hope and belief that he will be able to lead a normal life like his peers. Jake has since had 2 cochlear implants and is at mainstream school.
Can I therfore request your support in sponsoring me. Please give me as much or as little as possible
Thanks in advance
