Story

This idea started on a small scale.  Three friends wanting to raise money for 'Help for Heroes' by doing a Sky Dive.

  

We decided we'd love to make this a bigger event!  So, we have got our pole Dancing instructor involved!  She, inturn asked everyone she knows, all the dancers etc.  We now have a 50 strong posse!

 

Our aim is simply to raise as much as we can for the cause.  The group as a whole intends to raise thousands, each of us trying to raise a sum of around £100-£500.

 

We know times are tough, but please think about our troops.  The cause is hugely important to those affected by war.

 

I for one, have never got involved with fundraising previously which proves how important it is for me!  I'm happier sat on a plane with a Newpaper and a sun tan.... NOT leaping at 13,500 feet strapped to someone I've never met!

We are all SO excited about it now and will all be jumping in various fancy dress.  Alot of my sponsorship has come from Nottinghamshire County Council Employees, so I am jumping in full Hi-Visability worker gear! You'll see me coming!  We also have an Elvis and a Feddy Mercury jumping!

We'd love you to spend the day with us and support us or point and laugh at our terrified faces! The jump is on the 26th of June at Langar Airfield, Notts.  Our jump time is not secured but we're all jumping for the same cause.  Bring a picnic and join in! 

Myself and Toni are paying for our own jumps which means every single penny we raise will go straight to the charity (less the small cost Just giving takes for their service, but I hoping I can reach a larger number of you by doing this)

I have already raised £200 cash, and Toni a similar amount.  Now I'm spreading the word to my friends far and wide!

 

So everyone please please dig deep, and show your support to us and your troops!

 

Lots of Love
