Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. As part of our 2019 company objectives I committed to the personal challenge of going skydiving.  I saw it as a metaphor for our corporate challenges to be daring, and to grow and change our business.  

I am now living up to that promise and want to put my personal goal to good use helping young girls and boys in Brazil to have a chance for safety and education rather than a life on the streets. It often takes so little to change a child's trajectory through life.  We need to live in gratitude for all the blessing we have, take a leap of faith that change is possible, and then take action, however small, to impact those lives. 

My jump is on September 20th and  I will post a video to share my experience with you all.  I will not lie and tell you I am not afraid. I am also excited to have a few moments of freedom in the skies, breaking barriers and setting a new standard for myself.

If you find your way to sharing some bit of your life's bounty with these children, it would be a great blessing.

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. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
