Thanks for visiting our fundraising page.

The following have been selected to represent the current Deaflympic champions to another Gold medal at the 21st Deaflympics in Taipei, Taiwan, 5-15th September 2009, and bring back home a gold medal!

The GB Mens team clinched a Gold medal at the 20th Deaflympics in Melbourne, Australia, 2005, which was an amazing achievement, and we want to accomplish this feat again. Some of the current GB team were in this winning team. A fair few are new to GB.

Unfortunately, unlike many British Olympic and Paralympic athletes, despite GB's World Champions status, we receive no form of aid from the Government for training and there is no funding in sight to enable their participation at the Games. Each one of us is faced with a daunting financial hurdle of raising £3,000.

GB are now fundraising to enable the GB Football team their richly deserved opportunity to compete.

Please sponsor us!

Yours in Football,

GB Men
