Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

We are Philip, David, Jane, Peter and John. We are five ex-Skillsteppers who all have sight problems and have benefited from the fantastic services of Henshaws in the North East. On Sunday 21st October we are all going to throw ourselves off the Tyne Bridge and do a death-defying 600 foot zip slide down to the quayside.

None of us have that WOW fear factor as we all have sight problems ourselves and will not be able to see the ground fast approaching.

All that we ask is that you can find it in your hearts to sponsor us.

The five of us are hoping to raise as much money as possible, to give something back to Henshaws so they can continue their wonderful work.

Have you ever thought what it would be like for just one day to live in our world and face the hurdles and barriers that we cross 365 days a year.

So please dig deep, every little helps!

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.
