<p>Thank you to everyone who has donated so far. Your support is appreciated, more than you'll ever know.</p> <p>People who know me will know that i'm not&nbsp;keen on running&nbsp;etc (it&nbsp;wont take a genuis to work that one out). However. the one thing that is important to me is my children &amp; the NDCS.</p> <p>Without the support of the NDCS Mitchell and Holly would be no where with their progression and learning.</p> <p>Mitchell was diagnosed late and needs loads of help.</p> <p>Because of the NDCS we know how to get this help and we have.</p> <p>if the NDCS does not get the funds to support children like Mitchell and Holly&nbsp;these kids will be left behind and never have the opportunity to develop as 'NORMAL' children.</p> <p>Just because they are deaf doesn't mean they are different or unworthy. They have every right to a normal life/education and with&nbsp;groups like the NDCS supporting them they have a chance.</p> <p>Yes, i admit there&nbsp;is a chance i wont do the 26.2 miles, but i promise you this (to everyone who has donated &amp; who is thinking of donating) i will walk/run/crawl till i bleed or pass out in order&nbsp;to finish this marathon&nbsp;(or as much as possible) so that people donate as much as they can afford and the NDCS continue to support children like Mitchell &amp;&nbsp;Holly. &nbsp;</p> <p>Your support is appreciated. It means a lot to me and nikki. More than i/we can ever explain.</p> <p>Paul&nbsp;</p>
