Tim Rice is raising money for DELTA (Deaf Education through Listening and Talking)
Donations cannot currently be made to this page

Flora London Marathon 2009 · 26 April 2009 ·

DELTA believes that the vast majority of deaf children can learn to listen and talk and that all parents of deaf children should be given this option. It's aim is to promote the education of hearing impaired children through their residual hearing capacity and naturally spoken language.

Story

Thank you for taking the time to visit my fundraising page.

The picture on the left is of Anna Holloway. Anna, aged 2, was born deaf and has since had an operation that enabled her to hear and to therefore speak. She benefits from the wonderful work done by DELTA. DELTA are supporting Anna to learn to talk as they feel there is no reason why a child's deafness should prevent her living life to the full. Without their help this task would be left solely to her parents Jon and Carole.

I know Jon through work and over time I have learnt more and more about Anna and the work that Delta do and I am full of admiration for him and his family. When Jon told me that the charity had a number of places available to run the Flora London Marathon I jumped at the chance to raise money for Delta and to fulfill a lifetime ambition to train and complete the 26.2 mile run. 

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: DELTA gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!
