Our personal message:

Hello Everyone! Thanks for taking time to check out my page.

Music is my life and I don't know where I would be without it.  After a night of counting my blessings, I decided to use my resources to help raise money for my nominated charity, the National Deaf Children's Society.  To raise the money I am cycling from Chile to Argentina in February 2009.  I'll do all the physical labour, all you have to do is pull out your shiny credit card (or rusty pennies!),  and donate money to help me reach my target! 

Alternatively, come out and dance with us at one of the events I have organised for your listening pleasure :-)

Here are a few facts for you:

  • There are 35,000 deaf children in the UK and three more are born every day.
  • 90% of deaf children are born to hearing parents with little or no experience of deafness or knowledge of how to communicate with a deaf person.

Your money can help make a change!

£10 - provides high quality information and support for five people working with deaf toddlers
 
£15 - gives a family with a newly identified deaf baby 30 minutes of free confidential support and information in over 100 languages from a fully qualified worker on our national Helpline
 
£50 - allows NDCS to work directly with a family, supporting them to get the education and welfare benefits entitled to their child

£100 - provides 25 families with the information they need to know when they first find out their baby is deaf
      
£250 - allows two deaf children to participate in an NDCS run arts workshop
 
£500 - provides a Teletext TV and Video to a deaf child from a low income family through our Freddy Bloom Children's Equipment Fund

Thanks for your support!
