Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running the NYC marathon....my last one ....(I have promised my husband and mother!!).i have been a long term supporter of the Sylvia Wright trust and would particularly like to to raise money for the deaf school which does fantastic work giving poor deaf children in the poorest part of India a real chance of a good future. I first visited the charity as a medical student over 30 years ago and I am in awe of the work that Sylvia has done over 35 years .She is truly inspirational and has changed so many people's lives . Importantly the charity is run by volunteers so apart from a tiny percentage all monies go to the intended recipients.thank you for sponsoring me
