Hello and thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page today and taking an interest in what I am hoping to achieve. I really appreciate all your support!!! I have completed 10 tasks so far!

<<<

I am raising money for VSO; the organisation I will be working with as a Youth for Development (YfD) volunteer in Sierra Leone this year!!! VSO is an international development charity that works through volunteers, and works towards a world without poverty in which people can reach their potential.  Instead of sending food or money, VSO sends others like myself to volunteer in Afriaca, Asia, the Caribbean, Latin America, the Pacific and Eastern Europe.

I have come up with an elaborate to raise money in the most fun way possible!! Any of you who know me well will be familiar with my 'Birthday countdown events' each year. This Year will be my 25th (Gasp) and because I won't be able to do them in England this year, I have come up with a plan to raise money in 25 different ways!!!

This is where you come in!!

As a visitor to my site, I want to make it more fun to donate to VSO, so you have two ways you can donate. 

1. Simply make a donation!

2.  Sponsor an event (LIST BELOW)you would like to sponsor me to do (raising awareness of VSO at the same time) and make a donation. (please mention which event you are sponsoring in your note. Thank you!) 

Once I have completed the task, I will UPLOAD a video of myself doing the task. Please be generous. Some of the tasks are challenging!!
