<p>Just another marathon, right? It must be quite easy if you have run one before, right? I probably don't need to sponsor him this year, right? If you agreed with any of that then please read on...</p> <p>If you know how hard it is to run a marathon then you will know that each marathon is just as hard. You will also know that having done one before makes doing another one even tougher given you know how much it's going to hurt!</p> <p>As for fundraising, well I know it's a bit boring to ask for sponsorship again year after year. But at least by now you have probably budgeted for a charitable donation at this time of year!</p> <p>The EF are great too. They make such a big difference to the lives of deaf pre-school children, like Sally. The support and schooling is focused on developing the listening and languge skills required to lead a 'normal' life in a mainstream school.</p> <p>So if you do find yourself with cash burning a hole in your pocket, and you are not cursed like me with short arms and deep pockets then perhaps you can sponsor me again to run the VLM this year...</p>
