Hello lovely people...

I'm a volunteer with a fabulous charity that goes by the name of Get Connected.  We're a helpline for people up to the age of 25.  Here's what we do...

"Get Connected is a free, UK wide, email and telephone helpline that finds young people the best help whatever the problem.

The helpline workers listen to what you need to sort out, explain the options you have, and then make suggestions of services where you can get the best help. Get Connected has access to information on thousands of services, both locally and nationally.

If you have contacted Get Connected by phone, the helpline worker can then provide a free connection to the service you have chosen, or can text important information to your mobile.

The helpline workers all come from different backgrounds and about two-thirds are under thirty. All of them have been trained to make sure they are in the best possible position to help. None of them will tell you what to do or judge you."*

To raise funds for Get Connected, I'll be doing a sponsored tandem skydive from 10,000 feet on Sunday, 4th June!  So, please show your support for the team at Get Connected by sponsoring me to...

Hurl myself out of a completely serviceable plane into empty air and plummet...sorry...freefall screaming and/or grinning maniacally for 5,000 feet at 120mph (adrenaline junkie, moi?), whereupon the parachute cord will be pulled and I'll spend the last 5,000 feet enjoying the scenery on the way down.

  Yes, I need help... but in this case it happens to be monetary... :)  To do the jump I need to raise a minimum of £385 (which will cover the jump costs and minimum sponsorship needed for the charity) by the 1st of June, so please dig into your wallet/purse/bank account/mattress and "show me the money"... :)

"How do you give?" I hear you asking… It's easy… sponsor me online. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Get Connected will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and thanks for your support.  Please forward this link on to anyone you know who might be interested in sponsoring a redhead in her moment of insanity. :)

Cheers,

Kes
