I am embarking on a personal mission to support UK Deaf Sport to send deaf athletes to Deaflympics in Japan in November 2025.

My personal mission:

To complete a half marathon every month throughout 2025, which means I have to complete 12 half marathons!

I have already registered my first 10 half marathon (until October) and will be adding two more for November and December to complete the challenge. I will be updating this page with the date and events shortly.

The Summer Deaflympics 2025 will be held in Tokyo, Japan in November 2025 where we aim to win our 250th GB Deaflympics medal. Can you help us get there?

Elite deaf athletes and the DeaflympicsGB Team receive no funding from the UK Government. Zero - not a single penny.

Your generous donations will directly support and fund the DeaflympicsGB team on their journey to Tokyo for the Summer Deaflympics in 2025. Donations will help pay for their flights, accommodation, preparations, food, kit and technical support.

How You Can Make a Difference:

1. Financial Support: every donation counts! You are supporting the dream of every deaf athlete to represent their country at the Deaflympics.

2. Spread the Word: please share this page with your friends, family, and social networks.

3. Encouragement: share your support, cheer on our deaf athletes who are training hard day in and day out.

Thank you for all your support,

Andrew Tobin
