Story

‘Raise me up so I can stand on mountains’ -Westlive

‘When they go low, we go high’ - Michelle Obama 

Hi i’m Reece, a stuffed racoon. I’m asking for your help to raise money for Young Carers Bristol and in turn raise me into the air using the wonders of helium. Funds made by the sales of my pin badges will buy helium air tanks to fill the balloons needed to lift me up into the air, all for your entertainment and for a good cause.

From my calculations I need approximately 150 balloons to cope with the weight of my furry being. I do have a fear of heights but step by step, the staircase in my house has become a good practice ground. 

It’s going to be a challenge but with your help I believe I can make it to higher places. This will be the highest that I’ve ever been, and I want you all to see me soar. The sky is the limit.

Please follow my Instagram page @stuffedreece for updates on the date of the lift and how close we are to our goal.

I want to raise at least £150 for Young Carers Bristol. They are a fantastic cause and all need our help during these mad times. Please visit their website at : http://www.carerssupportcentre.org.uk/young-carers/
