Hello!
On the 14th-15th of March, we will be competing in the Jailbreak challenge: we will be trying to go in one direction: as far as possible from Bristol, in 36 hours ... and without spending a single penny. We will be relying on our persuasion skills and charming French accents, as well as the kindness of people, to get a free ticket or an odd lift across Europe.
We've decided to raise money for the Bristol Drug Project. Drug addiction is a harsh reality which has a disruptive effect on, according to a national 2009 poll, over 1 in 5 adults a year. In Bristol, this represents over 82,000 people!!!!
We were particularly concerned by this issue because of how much addiction can alter one's life and behaviour, leaving one so isolated and helpless. We wanted to support this cause, and you can also help make a change. Any donation (given before Saturday14th***), no matter how small, will be hugely appreciated!
You'll be able to follow our exciting yet terrifying adventure on Facebook! Get ready for some pictures of our embarrassing attempts to get a ride, our achievement of (hopefully) leaving the UK by any possible means, and generally us feeling helpless but satisfied of the great cause we're supporting.
Thank you from Diego & Luka!xxx
