Story
<p>After donning my hiking boots and successfully climbing <span style="font-family: Verdana;">19,340 feet to the summit of </span>Mt Kilimanjaro in Oct 2010 I am now taking on a new challange!!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>At 8am on FRIDAY 13TH(!!!) of May 2012, I will be reluctantly jumping out of a plane for my very first - and ONLY - SkyDive! All to raise money for the same cause as my first adventure. Kilimanjaro was the most challanging and testing experiencing of my life, as well as one of the best. </p>
<p>Additionally to the fundraising I was able to gather (thanks to all you generous people!) I suprised myself with my strength of mind and physical ability on the Kilimanjaro Challange.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Please dig deep and sponsor me in this truely terrifying SkyDive! :-// ...btw, I am the 'bag holder' at Alton Towers and this certainly will not come easy to me!</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">All this hard work will all be worthwhile if I succeed in raising £3,500 for my chosen charity. I have worked and volunteered for Shap since I was 16 years old and the charity has been a constant part of my life ever since.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color: #ff1493;"><strong>SHAP exists to promote social justice, to combat poverty and to prevent homelessness.</strong></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><br /><span style="color: #000000;">Shap aim to enable homeless, vulnerable or disadvantaged people to take control of their own lives, and to receive the quality of housing and services to which they are entitled.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Since 1981, SHAP has provided services for young and vulnerable people in <span style="color: #0000ff;">St Helens</span> and the neighbouring boroughs: those who have been homeless, poorly housed, escaping abusive situations or leaving care.<span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span>Over the years, they have housed many people at a point of crisis in their lives, given them a safe space within which they could catch up, and provided them with individual support to help them to make and carry out decisions about their own lives.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><br /><span style="color: #000000;"><em><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">I am hoping the local community will support me in this fundraising challenge.</span></strong></em><br /><br />Colleagues from <strong>Whiston & St Helens Hospitals</strong> and people from the <strong>local community</strong> have been very generous and I hope other people in the area will sponsor me if they can. </span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Even a few pounds will make a huge difference and mean Shap can continue their invaluable work supporting young and vulnerable people.</span></p>
<p> </p>

<p><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Thank you all for your time and generosity!</span></strong></p>
