My story

 
Sponsor Penni to Jump out of a Plane!  

Yes, I know it’s bonkers but I’m actually going to jump out of a plane – with a parachute on – to raise money for James Hopkins Trust.

For those of you not familiar with the charity – it provides respite care for families of sick and disabled children in Gloucestershire.

 

I am very lucky to have three wonderfully healthy children – but many parents are not!

 

Can you imagine what it must be like to care day and night for a child so poorly that he or she may not even live to adulthood? I can’t imagine it, but I do know how absolutely exhausting looking after a newborn baby is – getting up throughout the night for months on end. Imagine if that went on for years not months!

 

The James Hopkins Trust allows these parents to take a short break, while a dedicated nurse looks after their child usually in their own home. It costs nearly £300,000 each year to care for these children – help me raise a little bit more by sponsoring me!

 

You can contact me by email pennismail-home@yahoo.co.uk or phone 01594-517111

 

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’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’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

(By the way I will be paying for the jump myself - not out of the sponsorship money raised.)
