Hi Everyone My name is Sarah Louise Williams, I’m 30 years old and from Ammanford. I've wanted to do a skydive for a long time but never got around to doing it until now. This will take place in Swansea airport and I will jump from a plane from 13,000 ft.  This will be my first experience and I’m sure it will be one, which I won't forget ha!       My grandmother was born deaf and from the age of just 3, I started signing BSL her and have done ever since. I then went on to study at Graig CCTA campus in Llanelli at the age of 26 and there completed my BSL Level 1 & 2 qualification and now looking to progress to level 3.   I thoroughly enjoy signing and very passionate about it due to my grandmother's influence.  I have been running Sign Language classes for over a year now in Llanelli with over 60 people attending throughout the year. I have also just started a beginner’s class which has been very successful.  During my time teaching these classes "I'm in my element and thoroughly enjoy every moment and I love the fact that people want to learn Sign Language.  I think it's fantastic that people want to learn Sign Language to communicate with the deaf community"  Also one day when I have children, I would like to teach them sign language from a very young age, just as I got brought up and would tell them many stories about how amazing my grandmother was and what she was like as a person. Then hopefully if my children decide to have kids they will do the same. I would like it pasted on through our family for many years to come and hope it never dyes out.   As the skydive gets closer I’m getting more and more excited by the day, it will be an experience that I will never forget and the money raised is going to a very good cause, so will definitely be worth the jump. The fundraising is going very well, with a total of £486 amount raised so far but still continuing to collect as much as I can.  I'm hoping to raise nearly a £1000.  I'm raising this money to help change the lives of people who are deaf.  Any facilities, equipment that can help the deaf community will be a great benefit to them.  So with your help, I need to raise the money.  So please give your help and support and help me raise the funds for a very good cause.  Many thanks for all your help and support        <div> </div>
