Story

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;">Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;">I have decided to raise money for War Child as they do some incredible work on the ground in some the worst conflict-affected areas in the world, helping to rebuild those children&rsquo;s lives that have been torn apart by war.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;">The first challenge comes along in June and it involves jumping 10,000 feet out of a plane, which is pretty scary in itself when you hate heights! Furthermore, I have also signed up for 3 half marathons throughout the summer, finishing in October 2012, so if the fear of free-fall doesn't scare me to death, the exhaustion of excessive running certainly will do. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;">Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails.
