Story

<p>Hello!</p> <p>In short I am jumping out of a plane.&nbsp; It is probably not up there with the smartest things I have decided to do but it is a gesture which will hopefully help raise money for an important charity.&nbsp;</p> <p>Please, please donate- remember your money gets matched by my company so it is a good time to give.&nbsp; Also spread the word to anyone you who think may be interested.&nbsp; June is really soon so please don't wait til later as your sponsorship will encourage others too!</p> <p>Some of the reasons why you should definitely sponsor me:</p> <p>1.a)You truly applaud my courage and bravery</p> <p>1.b) You will see some pictures and vids of me very scared, possibly/probably about to wee my pants</p> <p>2. Arup are matching the money I raise, factor in gift aid and you are helping give more than double what you put up</p> <p>3.a You will be helping tackle some of the real issues which the developing world are facing.&nbsp; You should feel good about yourself you are a good person.</p> <p>3.b&nbsp; Not donating will naturally make you a bad person.</p> <p>4. I am paying for my skydive from my own pocket (around &pound;150) so 'I'm not paying for you to do something fun' is not an excuse it is a cop out.</p> <p>5. If a skydive is not enough, creative suggestions are welcome.&nbsp; I really don't want to be bottom of the donations pile</p> <p>Please sponsor me:) in fact I'm pretty sure you owe me a couple of (&pound;5) pints.&nbsp; Pay your debt below and we'll call it even...</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
