Story

<p>Thank you very much&nbsp;for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page!</p> <p>I AM GOING TO JUMP OUT OF A PLANE...<br /><br />No I'm not trying to kill myself. For my 21st birthday my parents bought me a tandem skydive and I wanted to do some good out of me having fun.</p> <p>I have chosen to raise money for this charity because a close family friend's daughter has recently been diagnosed and is undergoing treatment for Juvenile Dermatomyositis.&nbsp;<a href="http://www.myositis.org.uk/">http://www.myositis.org.uk/</a></p> <p>She has a long road ahead of her with frequent visits to Great Ormond Street Hospital with scary treatment, especially for someone who is&nbsp;afraid of needles, daily physio, which can be painful, and extreme fatigue. All this&nbsp;is stopping her being a "normal" energetic little girl who is still only in primary school.</p> <p>She is very brave and all her family &amp; friends are&nbsp;thinking of her and in doing this I hope to raise money to help forward the research to find a cure, which currently doesn't exist.</p> <p>&nbsp;</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>
