On the 23rd of March I am planning to do a sponsored skydive for SPOWE. This is a pretty big deal for me as I always try to avoid doing SCARY things! But since I'm not doing much else recently I thought it was about time I challenged myself and raised a bit of money for a better cause.
SPOWE is a charity based in Uganda which was set up to help orphans, widows and the elderly, who have been directly affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic. I really want to raise as much money as possible for SPOWE as it is a small and intimate charity, who work with a limited number of individuals and families in the community. Because of this, the after effects of your donation can be seen immediately enabling a noticeable change in a shorter space of time than would be possible with a massive worldwide organisation. All of your donations will help SPOWE to do more of it's amazing work, and grow as a charity.
So, bearing in mind that I NEVER challenge myself like this, and that a donation of only £15 can send one child to school for a YEAR, dig deep and sponsor me to through myself out of a plane!
