Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.&nbsp;</p> <p>I&rsquo;m raising money for Wishes 4 Kids using JustGiving and I'd really appreciate your support no matter how little the donation is every little bit helps.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Aparajita, sans-serif;">My Name is Darren Jackson and &nbsp;I was diagnosed with Aplastic Anaemia and was rushed into hospital on my 11th birthday, from then on I spent a long time in hospital. I received a bone marrow transplant from my sister in August 2005.The charity Wishes 4 kids has helped me and my family through my illness and kept us together as a family. My wish was to fly a sea plane and Russell from Wishes 4 Kids made this happen, Russell then took me up to Scotland, Lock Lomond to carry out my wish. I cannot thank Wishes 4 Kids enough for what he has done to help me and my family, but what I can do is support him by giving him the money he needs to run this amazing charity. I'm going to do this by doing a tandem skydive, I want to give something back to one of the best charity&rsquo;s out there, so if you can please help me by donating as much as you can to this wonderful charity.</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &amp;amp;amp;amp;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p>Thanks Darren</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
