100 challenges for GDA 2019 is set to be a BIG year for GDA and we would love you to be a part of it. As you will have already read, GDA will be celebrating it's 100th anniversary next year and as part of our celebrations we are inviting 100 people to be a part of our biggest fundraiser ever - 100 people, 100 challenges. So far 83 people have pledged to take on a challenge, with 53 having already completed their challenge. Could you join our team and help us reach our team of 100? "Being part of the 24hr cycle challenge was the best thing I've ever done. It was a wonderful event and brilliant to be involved in GDA's 100th anniversary celebrations" Your challenge can be anything you want it to be - perhaps you want to give something up, or maybe do a sponsored walk, cycle or run? Or how about jumping out of a plane, holding a cake sale or making and selling a craft? Whatever your challenge, you will be helping to ensure the future of the life-transforming support and services that GDA provides to thousands of deaf and hard of hearing children, young people and adults in Gloucestershire, Wiltshire and South Gloucestershire. To make this campaign even more exciting, we are delighted to share with you that The Windsor Family Trust are very generously offering matched funding for the first £100 each of our 100 participants raise, meaning GDA could stand to benefit from an extra £10,000!! We have been overwhelmed with the range of challenges and fundraising already taking place - from making little Christmas elves and hosting a sponsored silence, to running a half marathon and swimming 100 lengths on 100 different days. It's hard to single out just one challenge, but our Lands End to John O'Groats 24hr cycle challenge which took place from 19th to 20th October is definitely one of the highlight challenges so far.
