My story
Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. On 9th October 2010, I fulfilled a lifelong personal ambition - to make a tandem parachute jump, aiming to raise as much money as I could for two very worthy causes at the same time:
Farm Crisis Network (http://www.farmcrisisnetwork.org.uk) - is a UK network of volunteers drawn from the farming community and local churches. Their mission is to walk with and support farming families as they seek to resolve their problems, whatever they may be.
The Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution (http://www.rabi.org.uk) is a grant-making charity that supports members of the farming community facing need, hardship or distress.
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. Once you donate, they’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’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charities. RABI have kindly agreed to act as "banker" with JustGiving and will make sure that FCN receives half the money raised in due course.
(Every penny raised will go to the charities - the cost of the tandem parachute jump itself is not coming out of the sponsor money).
So please dig deep and donate now - it will mean the world to our farmers and those who support them.

My charity
The Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution
Charity Registration No. 208858
RABI was founded in Victorian times by farmers who were concerned about the level of poverty that existed in the farming community. In 2010 we will celebrate our 150th anniversary <p> Times may have changed but there is still hardship, especially for elderly or disabled people and families who struggle to make a living from the farm. Each year, RABI makes payments totalling around £2million to help people facing financial difficulties. <p> RABI supports elderly farmers and farm workers, and those of any age who are disabled, with regular grants or one-off payments for special items that they are unable to afford themselves. Around £250,000 each year is paid out for disability aids and essential household appliances. <p> Working farming families who are facing hardship because of illness, bereavement or some other crisis can receive short-term help. Just imagine you’re a dairy farmer, with cows to milk two or three times a day, but your young child is seriously ill in hospital. Paying for help on the farm and even the cost of travel can soon mount up and cause financial difficulties. That is when RABI can step in. <p> When there is a crisis such as major flooding or outbreaks of animal disease, RABI makes emergency payments (over £900,000 in 2007 when there was an outbreak of foot and mouth) to help with domestic expenses.
