Daddy Pig to run the London Marathon for a deaf children’s charity

Beloved children’s animated character Daddy Pig will run the TCS London Marathon to help raise money for a deaf children’s charity.

Peppa Pig’s dad, from the eponymous children’s cartoon, will take on the challenge to raise funds and awareness for the National Deaf Children’s Society both in the show as well as in real life, following news that his son, George Pig, is moderately deaf.

According to the charity, more than 54,000 children in the UK are affected by hearing loss, with Daddy Pig aiming to raise £54,000 for deaf children and their families.
