Story

 

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. On September 30th, I’ll be doing a 10,000 foot Skydive to help raise funds for Make-a-Wish Foundation. For those of you who may not be aware of the charity,  Make-A-Wish grant magical wishes to children fighting life-threatening conditions and since they were established in 1986, they've made over 7,600 dreams come true.

Independent research by Make-a-Wish estimate that there are currently around 20,000 children in the UK with a life-threatening condition and Make-A-Wish will only be able to make about 1400 dreams a reality this year with the funding they hope to raise, but they’ll need around £6.8M to do so. Make-a-Wish rely on fundraising events such as this one to continue the work they do - here's their website if you’d like to know more about the charity:

If you're able to help by sponsoring me, thank you so much - I'll keep you updated on how your sponsorship will definitely make a difference.

p.s. If you're a UK taxpayer, please make sure you tick the Gift Aid box, it will make a difference to the amount Make-A-Wish can claim from your donation.
