Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I know you probably get emails, facebook posts etc. all the time from some do gooder or another wanting you to give away  your hard earned cash. Well I just want a couple of minutes of your time and of course, your cash too! :)

My lovely friend Kirsty who fundraises for the charity Crisis has invited me to join her in jumping 10,000 feet from a plane all in the name of  the charity so I have said said yes. It would have been rude not to and it's got me out of collecting pennies with her on the platform at Paddington too! ( Just joking K!)

I love a challenge and it most definitely is going to be a challenge raising the money in time. An even bigger challenge is going to be getting me to jump out of the plane! Please give a little to encourage me. if you all give a little bit hopefully I will hit my target. I definitely won't be able to back down then. Just for the record big donations are welcome too! I'm very nearly there and every penny counts !

I did a 10 k run a few years ago and fell over the day before, running for the train and hurt my back.( Nice! I even had a cut knee like you get when you are 5!)  It probably wasn't the best idea to do the run but the thought of the sponsorship money and everybody's generosity kept me going and I finished. Once the adrenalin  and excitement wore off admittedly I couldn't walk for a week and made several visits to the osteopath. Point being... I won't give up if I hit my target. So come on guys, dig deep, give to a good cause and there'll be no stopping me this Halloween! Geronimo!!!!!!! 

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.

 

Thank you so so much. Your help and support is much appreciated.
