Virgin London Marathon 2011 · 17 April 2011 ·

We are the National Deaf Children’s Society, the leading charity for deaf children. We give expert support on childhood deafness, raise awareness and campaign for deaf children’s rights, so they have the same opportunities as everyone else.

Story

In April 2011 I'm running the London Marathon for the NDCS to raise money to help deaf children in the UK.

My youngest daughter Niamh was born with permanent, moderate to severe hearing loss in both ears.  Since then we've benefited from the NDCS and I want to raise some money for them in return.

This is going to hurt! Thanks to Dave Redpath, an experienced marathon runner, I now have an intensive training programme.  He has me running between 30 and 50 miles a week in preparation for April.  He reckons if I'm man enough to stick to his regime I can do the marathon in less than 3.5 hours!

So come on, help deaf children like Niamh all over Britain and Ireland improve their lives and reach their potential.

Many thanks in anticipation of your generosity,

Karl
