Story

<p>Hi thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>Those who have known me for some time know that every couple of years or so I take on a challenge for charity, previous challenges have been the Snowdon Marathon and a 100 mile cycle ride in the mountains of Wales.</p> <p>This time its a lot less energetic but a lot more worrying in the shape of&nbsp; a tandem skydive hopefully from 15000 feet. It will be on 4th June from an Airfield near Brackley Northants.</p> <p>I have chosen Acorns because I wanted to help a childrens charity.</p> <p>Acorns currently cares for 500 life limited children and their families. It is estimated that a further 1000 children with life limiting conditions live in the West Midlands who could be benefiting from Acorns services.</p> <p>Acorns relies on fundraising for over 80% of its income so it is vital to me to do well with this fundraising because Acorns aims to make every dayextra special for the children and families it serves.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
