I don't know how many of you knew that the deaf Olmpics are being held in Melbourne at the moment, but we have a friend representing GB in the swimming, we have heard she has won silver in the 200 m breast stroke, breaking the British record by 11 seconds
These athletes, unlike the able bodied oned get no funding,and have rely on private funding and donations from wellwishers.My 10 year old grand daughter organised a sponsored swim and raised £300 toward the cost of travelling to Oz,Luckily Lulu had a relation she could stay with whilst in Melbourne,so cutting the cost.
WELL DONE LULU :D
