Story

***UNFORTUNATELY THE TANDEM SKYDIVE DID NOT GO AHEAD ON THE 27th FEBRUARY DUE TO BAD WEATHER!!! FINGERS CROSSED IT WILL NOW BE GOING AHEAD ON THE 3rd MAY GIVING MORE TIME TO RAISE EVEN MORE MONEY FOR THE CHARITY AND ABI. THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HAS DONATED SO FAR, AND A HUGE THANKS TO ALL THOSE WHO TURNED UP ON THE DAY WE ALL HOPE TO SEE YOU AGAIN SOON!!***

Thank you for taking the time to open this link :D    

With your help, a group of friends and myself will hopefully jump out of a plane at 10,000 feet! No we are not crazy, the jump is in aid of a very special charity; Alder Hey’s IMAGINE APPEAL. This Charity has been chosen as my niece, Abi Jones age 10, was diagnosed on Christmas Eve last year with Leukaemia.
 

Abi attends Alder Hey in Liverpool frequently for treatment of the vicious cancer. This past year has been very tough for both Abi, and my family. Abi has been unable to attend school and therefore missed out on spending time with her friends socialising; like a little 10 year old girl should. Instead Abi spends her time in hospital, which thanks to the staff at Alder Hey and the facilities they have provided, has been made as pleasant as it can be.

A year on and Abi has made amazing progress, however the journey to full recovery is still long. So please show your support and donate to Alder Hey’s charity, the IMAGINE Appeal. The target amount shown above is ONLY the minium amount of sponsorship money needed to raise in order for the jump to go ahead, we would idealy love to raise more for the amazing charity. So please dig deep when donating :D

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving as they will never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they will send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by an UK taxpayer. So it is the most efficient way to donate to such a fantastic charity.

People doing the skydive include:

1.    Astone Smith

2.    Callum Richardson

3.    Daniel Richardson

4.    Elsa Smith

5.    Me, Emily Shone

6.    Lauren Forbes

7.    Laura Jones

8.    Nick Roberts

As there are a good number of us actually daring to jump out of plane, the total target to reach is quite high, however with your support we know it can be reached!!

Also do not hesitate to come along on the day to watch and show your support further. Those who wish to come along I will post information about time and location nearer to the month of February. Up until then, the group of adrenaline junkies will be raising money through various events, so look out for us! Also the local newspaper has shown an interest in this exciting, worthwhile event, so keep your eyes peeled.

Thank you again, and make sure you spread the word in aid of brave Abi and the IMAGINE Appeal.
