My story

 

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I intend, with much trepidation, to jump 14,000 feet to raise money for Crimebeat's "Warning Zone".

The Warning Zone was launched in 2006 to provide an outstanding Educational Resource, teaching vital safety messages to Year 6 pupils and other vulnerable groups. The Zone provides schools with an opportunity to help pupils understand the dangers they may encounter in their everyday lives and also develops the concept of personal responsibility. The centre also has an anti-social behaviour theme running throughout.

I am delighted to be jumping alongside representatives of the Police, the City and the County - demonstrating solid support for Crimebeat across Leicester and Leicestershire

This will be the first time that I, and to our knowledge a High Sheriff of Leicestershire, will have attempted a parachute jump, so you are asked if you would kindly make this adventurous gesture worthwhile by please showing your support and making a donation to the Warning Zone.

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.

So please dig deep and donate now.
