Story

 

On Thursday 9th August 2012 I'll be doing a Skydive for charity. The charity I have chosen to jump for is the US Chesed Bursary Fund.

 

The US Chesed Bursary Fund is a great charity that has been set up to help the children of families who are under real financial pressure attend and enjoy well organised Day and Summer Camps in the UK and/or on a life – changing trip to Israel together with their friends, all in the hope that these families will foster a life – long love for Judaism and Israel.

 

What has encouraged me to do this insane act of jumping out a plane from a few thousand feet is that I know people and kids who were only able to go on camps and schemes because of the Fund. In the squeeze on household spending, with many families struggling to provide the basics, the need to provide grants is even greater than ever.

 

Ive taken camp with a couple of youth groups, and Tribe camps provide a safe, fun and inspirational environment. This is brilliant because I know that all monies raised will help to ensure that no child misses these important experiences.

 

Its funny, because im scared of heights! but this will hopefully help me get over it!

Thank you so much for your donations.... pictures will (eventually!) put up :)
