Donations cannot currently be made to this page

tandem parachute jump · 22 April 2013

Child of Hope is producing a huge social impact for children and their families in Eastern and Northern Uganda through free education, healthcare, clothing, food and welfare. Each donation goes to our work in the slums of Mbale and Karamoja and gets straight to work improving lives and communities.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm a 48 year old Practice Nurse married with two grown-up daughters.  Over the years I have often thought about doing a parachute jump, but have never followed it up for fear of injury.   More than that, if I'm honest, I'm scared of heights!  

In 2009 I cycled across Jordan to raise money for a charity helping with research into cancers that affect women and babies. This was an amazing experience and a privilege to take part in an event with so many inspiring women. 

It was at a work colleague's birthday party that I found myself in conversation about doing a parachute jump, and to my husband's delight, I found myself agreeing to it.  My husband is usually the adventurous one in the family.

I have chosen to pay for the jump myself, which allows more money to go to the charity.  I've chosen Child of Hope as I know what they are doing is changing the lives of children and their families, giving them real hope to improve their future.

You could be part of my challenge by donating today.
