Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On March 12th 2011, I am jumping out of a plane, the thought of which absolutely terrifies me!!! Having jumped out of an aircraft, I will be accelerating towards the ground at 120 miles per hour (that is really really fast...) before releasing a parachute and (hopefully) safely landing, alongside Lucy Foster and Max Shaw, who are jumping with me!

Somehow, I am going to face my fears and sky dive to help raise money for READ International, an almost entirely student-volunteer-led charity which collects, sorts and ships disused educational resources from the UK to Tanzania (350,000 books to date). 

Having previously worked in schools and villages in Africa, I have been made completely aware of how much the children attending these schools want to learn and need all the books and resources we can send to them.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please spare whatever you can to help me to raise money for this worthy cause, as we need to raise a minimum of £380, but if we can raise more, that would be incredible!

Thank you for all your help!
