Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
I have been selected to represent the Great Britain Deaf Football Squad in their campaign to defend their World Champion's status at the 21st Deaflympics in Taiwan, 5-15th September 2009, and bring back home a gold medal!
In the last Deaflympics, Great Britain beat Iran 2-1 in the final in Melbourne Australia to claim the gold medal.
Unfortunately, unlike many British Olympic and Paralympic athletes, despite our World Champions status, we footballers and Britain’s deaf athletes receive no form of aid from the Government for training and there is no funding in sight to enable their participation at the Games. Each footballer is faced with a daunting financial hurdle of raising £3,000.
GB are now fundraising to enable the GB Football team their richly deserved opportunity to compete- after all, GB Men are currently World Champions, having won the GOLD at the last Deaflympics, and the GB Women achieving a Bronze in their first ever international competition.
Please sponsor me!
Thanks,
Chris Beech
