Thanks for taking the time to visit my fundraising page.

I am going to fundraise for BDA by running BUPA London 10,000KM run, Firstly I'll tell you a little about myself before explaining bit more about BDA.

As you all can gather, my name is Asher, I always have dreamt of running London marathon, however I see this as an excellent opportunity for me to start off my dream and learn about fundraising as I plan to raise a large amount for London Marathon one day!

 

I have also decide to liven the things up and I willbe running in fancy dress- Please vote one from the list below by posting a comment after donating.

BDA is the largest deaf organisation run by deaf people, they represent the deaf community and they are strong advocates of British Sign Language and they are determined to preserve our proud deaf community and identity.

They do very valuable and tireless work in campaigning on various issues regarding the deaf community such as preserving deaf clubs, raising awareness of the issues facing deaf people, better opportunities in work and bi-lingual education for deaf people, developing sign language courses and legal frameworks for the deaf people as well improving the communication and accessibility for the deaf. All of this is done to ensure deaf people can be equal to their hearing peers, contribute to the society and lead a fulfilling and independent life.

In a nutshell, BDA is the heartbeat of Deaf Community and we all need to pitch in to keep it beating the deaf heart for us and fight for us, the deaf people! 

Any contributions, pounds or pennies will be warmly appreciated. So get donating and give yourself a big pat on your back! Please spread the word by sharing this on Facebook or Twitter!
