Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my Red Balloonies' JustGiving page.
Please take a minute to read this page and then pledge some cash to help this worthy cause.
I am taking part in this tandem skydive, which presents a real challenge for me as I am terrified of heights and don't particularily care for small aircraft either!!!
I heard about the Red Balloon charity through
a friend but before that I had no idea what a fantastic job they did
because they are relatively new. This is a great charity. Please help me to
help these kids who have had a rough time during what should be the best years of their lives!!
What am I doing?
I have commited to jumping from a small airplane at an
altitude of 13,000 feet. After deploying a drogue 'chute, my tandem
instructor and I will hurtle towards the ground at up to 130mph. Around
45 seconds later the main parachute will be deployed and we will glide
to earth, gently landing in view of our supporters.
If this isn't your idea of fun, why not donate a few pounds to this worthy cause, then sit back and let us do the scary bit.
In the words of a former pupil...
"Coming
to the Red Balloon was the best thing that's happened to me. When I
stopped going to school and before I came to the Red Balloon I always
thought I was a loser, a no hoper, but thanks to the teachers I now
believe I have something worth living for."
