Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On Saturday the 24th of April 2010 I will be doing a 315ft bungee jump in aid of Bravehearts Childrens Trust. I am doing this because it is something I have always wanted to do and I want to raise as much money as possible for the charity.

Bravehearts Childrens Trust was conceived to satisfy the dreams and aspirations of children living in Scotland. Our aim is to benefit children who are terminally ill, chronically sick, disabled or disadvantaged in some way and to meet the special needs arising from illness, disability or poverty. We respond to applications submitted by or on behalf of children and try to bring a little happiness into their sometimes short lives by granting them a wish. The completion of the wish brings untold joy to the child and sometimes helps provide a distraction from the most gruelling treatments and therapies.

The types of wishes requested and granted have varied. They have ranged from simple requests for a television to the more difficult to arrange meeting with a popular film star. Obviously some of the requests are out of our range and are near impossible to grant. However, we do try extremely hard to provide what the child has requested. We have on two occasions sent parties of children and their families to Disneyworld Florida, likewise parties have been able to spend 4 or 5 days in Disneyland Paris. Every year we send groups of children to Lapland to meet Santa and enjoy the delights of the winter wonderland.

We have sent individual children and their families on holiday to numerous locations throughout the UK. We have also funded very special holidays for children who require one to one care. These holidays are very special and provide the child with an enriching experience as well as providing a little relief to the parents from the daily burden of constant care.

Other wishes we have successfully granted are backstage meetings with members of one of the more popular boy bands, Stadium tour and autograph session with the first team pool of one of the major Scottish football clubs.

Sensory equipment, Special needs toys, outdoor/indoor play equipment, Second Skin Body Splints, Electronic Games, Playhouses, TV/VCRs, and personal computers are some of the more popular wishes.

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 charity.

Love claire
