Louise’s fundraising for BDA whilst running London Marathon
Louise Saunders
My Story
I’m fundraising for the British Deaf Association because this cause is personal to me. As a Deaf person working at the BDA, I see first-hand how hard we fight for Deaf BSL users to have equal access across the UK.
Running my first London Marathon is a big personal challenge, and a chance to support a community I’m proud to be part of.
The British Deaf Association (BDA) is a Deaf-led organisation representing Deaf people who use British Sign Language (BSL) or Irish Sign Language (ISL).
Since 1890, the BDA’s commitment has been to ensure that the sign language, culture, community, diversity and heritage of Deaf people should be effectively protected by valuing the rights of Deaf people - with all their diverse experiences and abilities - and the use of BSL and ISL.
The BDA wishes to see a society where sign language users have the same rights, responsibilities, opportunities and quality of life as everyone else. The BDA stands for Deaf Equality, Access, and Freedom of choice.
Please support my run and help raise funds for the BDA, so they can continue their important work on behalf of all Deaf people.
