Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

 

The time has come for me to ask, beg, nag you for some hard earned money to sponsor me for the London Marathon! 

 

Yes, on April 17th I am entering the London Marathon, 26.2 miles! 

 

I have a target time of 4 hours, and am looking to raise £2,500 for Auditory Verbal^UK. A national charity which teaches deaf babies and children to listen and speak using Auditory Verbal Therapy, so that they can achieve their potential in life.

 

A deaf baby is born in the UK every 12 hours. In early years, children with a hearing impairment are given access to sound through hearing aids and cochlear implants, but need to be taught during infancy how to listen and communicate. After three years of parent-focused Auditory Verbal Therapy, over 80% of the deaf and hearing-impaired children we see close the language gap and enter mainstream schools. 

 

 

They are a small charity, so any help you can give will help. Please check out their website for more details: http://www.avuk.org/ 

 

Thank you so much for sponsoring me, I really appreciate it. Your support will spur me on!
