<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>Maria has celebrated her 40th birthday this year and to mark the occasion is setting herself the challenge of a parachute jump. She is fortunate to be supported but seven important friends - who each have their reasons for undertaking the challenge this year.</p> <p>The Children of the Universe Foundation and SSAFA are two charities close to our hearts. Please give generously to support those less fortunate than ourselves or trying to overcome challenges in their lives.</p> <p>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. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
