Story

 

I am looking for sponsors to raise funds so I can do a parachute jump for RP Fighting Blindness aka The British Retinitis Pigmentosa Society. 

RP Fighting Blindness raise money for important medical research to try and find a cure for this disease, they also give support to many families as they come to terms with how the disease affects  their family member(s). 

I myself want to try and raise money to help a member of my own family, my baby sister Katie who is only 13 years old  who has recently been diagnosed with this disease. Her sight has been affected already and it will continue to get progressively worse as time goes by unless a cure can be found.

So now you know why I am willing to jump out of a plane for her and others and would once again ask that you donate generously so I can raise as much money as possible, ideally I need to raise £395 but hope to raise much much more than that. 

I would like to thank you for reading this and hope that it will help you to help me to help Katie and the many other people who are also affected by this disease.
