Fundraising for Fairbridge
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
As part of the RBS development programme I'm on, I have been tasked with raising money for the Fairbridge Charity. I'm sure most of you will be aware of the Charity but please click on the website link below for more information.
I have to raise as much money as possible by the December 10th deadline and I have chosen to do this by jumping out of a plane at 14,000ft! Colleagues have requested I do this without a parachute but unfortunately this request has been ignored! After spending a day at Fairbridge last week I can assure you all it is a very worthwhile cause and offers a lifeline to many young people who haven't had the best of starts to life.
I will be raising money both inside and outside of the office but I would really appreciate your support in the form of sponsorship. Whatever you can spare will be greatly appreciated. I will be doing the skydive on the 7th November at North West Parachute Centre in Grange Over Sands. I've attached the warning from the skydive website to encourage/guilt trip you into sponsoring, I may have emphasised one of the words.
"Warning! Sport Parachuting is classified as a dangerous adventure sport. There is a risk whether slight,
medium or even FATAL attached to a parachute jump. Despite rigorous training and adherence to safety
standards, a risk still remains. Do not take part in Skydiving or Sport Parachuting if you are not willing
to accept the risks."
