Story

Dear friends and family,

 

I have two very close friends, Leigh and Dave. They have a son called Warwick. When Warwick was born he was 10 weeks early, extremely premature and spent the first weeks of his life in the special care baby unit at Heartlands. There was no hope that he would survive but miracles do happen and he is now a year and a half old, gorgeous and a very special little boy close to my heart.

 

To try to make Warwick's life a little easier, he attends Conductive School in Moseley. I have never visited the school but I feel like I know all the children there; Warwick is doing fantasticlly and that is down to a few things, one being him, one being his parents and family but mainly the help, support and encouragement from Conductive.

 

I am going to attempt to raise a much cash as possible to help the school - and I couldn't think of a better way of doing it than strapping myself to a burly bloke and chucking myself out of an aeroplane at approximately 14000 feet.

 

So to all those who admire me, think I'm mental, hope that the parachute fails.........dig deep, please, for a very, very good cause.

My skydive is not until May 9th and no, I won't back out.....so there is plenty of time to sponsor me. Here's why this website is so useful;

 

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.

 

Please, please, please give as much as you can so this wonderful school can continue to help children like Warwick and many more.
