Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page!

On the 2nd July me and some other crazy people are going to be jumping 1,200m from a plane, why?! All because we hope to raise lots of pennies for an amazing charity called READ International. READ international sends books to Tanzania and Uganda, so far it has sent over 350,000 books saving over 550 tonnes from landfill, and contributing to the daily education of 260,000 children. The money raised from my sky dive will generate enough money to send another 600 books to East Africa this year!

I'm doing this because i think education is something we all take for granted. We are all well educated giving us a chance for a future we want, but in Tanzania and Uganda not everyone is so lucky, READ international aim to improve this, giving them a brighter future.

So please dig deep and donate as little or as much as you feel.

Thanks ! :)
