adidas Manchester Marathon 2026 · 19 April 2026 ·

There are about 300 deaf children in the Wigan borough and most are born into families with no experience of deafness. It is really important for them to grow up knowing other deaf children. We arrange activities and events for the children and their families.

Story

Catherine and Emma are taking on two epic challenges to raise money for WLDCS:

On 19th April they will take to the streets of Manchester to complete the Adidas Manchester Marathon 2026, and then on 12th September they will take on The Lap - an Ultra marathon around Lake Windermere, covering a staggering 47 miles in 24 hours.

WLDCS is a charity that provides deaf children and their families with support and social activities, including swimming lessons, regular stay and play sessions, a youth group for older children and seasonal parties and celebrations.

For deaf children and their families in Wigan and Leigh, the charity helps them to form a network and share their lived experiences of deafness.

Catherine and Emma hope to raise £1000 to ensure that these events can continue, and provide vital support to deaf children in Wigan and Leigh.
