Story

<p><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Throwing myself out of a plane must be worth some money for orphaned children, right?&nbsp;</strong></span></p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page :)</p> <p>On March 6, I along with some other idiots in Cambridge will be doing a <strong>skydive</strong> in order to raise money for charity. If all goes to plan I'll be jumping out of a plane at a height of between 10 000 and <strong>15 000 ft</strong>, reaching speeds of up to <strong>120 mph</strong>. I have decided to fund raise for <strong>SOS Children's Villages</strong>, a charity I feel particularly passionate about. I've wanted to do a skydive for a long time so the cost of the jump itself is being covered by birthday/christmas presents, therefore&nbsp;<strong><em>every penny I raise will go directly to the charity</em></strong>.&nbsp;</p> <p>This is a really worthwhile charity;<strong> SOS Children's Villages</strong> is the world's largest orphan and abandoned children charity whose vision is '<em>a loving home for every child'</em>. Child sponsors and donors worldwide provide a new family and home for more than <strong>78 000 children</strong> in <strong>500 unique Children's Villages</strong> in <strong>124 countries</strong>. Yet, this is only possible through <span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px;">the generosity of sponsors and donations, so please consider sponsoring me to support this fantastic charity, in order to help sustain their work.&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px;">For more information on SOS Children's Villages please take a look at the website;&nbsp;</span></span><a href="http://www.soschildrensvillages.org.uk/">http://www.soschildrensvillages.org.uk/</a></p> <p>If you've got the time, please watch this video for more information on SOS Children's Villages;&nbsp;<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XqPmw5PQmQ">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XqPmw5PQmQ</a></p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;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&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>Thank you and all my love,</p> <p>Rach.&nbsp;</p>
