If you've won a place to run in the Flora London Marathon 2006 why not spread the happiness that bit further by running in aid of deaf children?

Three babies are born deaf every day and 90% of deaf children are born to hearing parents with little experience of deafness. The National Deaf Children's Society (NDCS) is the leading UK charity supporting deaf children and young people and we'd like your help to support our vital work.

Sally Gunnell, former Olympic athlete explains: " Supporting deaf children and their families is incredibly motivating and will keep you training until you finally cross that finishing line - you'll be surprised at what you can achieve! "

Please accept the challenge and run the 2006 Flora London Marathon in aid of deaf children across the UK. I look forward to hearing from you.
