Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Hi everyone!</span> <br /> <span style="mso-tab-count: 1;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>I&rsquo;ve decided that I am going to do some charity work for the Wildlife Heritage Foundation, and when I say &lsquo;Charity Work&rsquo; I mean doing a<span style="text-decoration: underline; color: #ffcc00;"> sky dive from 13,500 Feet High</span>. So yes, i&rsquo;ll be getting pushed from a plane this high! Who in their right mind would do this? (That&rsquo;s what I&rsquo;m thinking anyway!) But, it will all be worth it in the end.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">So this is why i need all the help I possibly can get from all my great Family and Friends. The Charity that i am supporting is the <span style="color: #ff00ff;">Wildlife Heritage Foundation</span> which is a UK BIG CAT sanctuary. The charity helps to keep these big cats going extinct! This is why i decided to do the sky dive, as the up keep and daily care of these cats, depends <span style="color: #0000ff;">solitary on donations.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal">The sanctuary has <span style="color: #ff6600;">41</span> big cats in their care and it cost <span style="color: #ff9900;">&pound;</span><span style="color: #ff6600;">1,000 </span>a year to keep just <span style="color: #ff6600;">ONE</span> of the big cats cared for and well fed. The donations also go to the big cats that are still in the wild!</p> <p class="MsoNormal">The WHF is also trying to get <span style="color: #cc99ff;">14</span> Lions that are in <span style="color: #cc99ff;">Romania</span> a home in the U.K but by doing this a great amount is needed. The Lions are in <strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">TINY </span></em></strong>CAGES <span style="color: #cc99ff;">(15FT X 12FT)</span> this cage can be shared up to <span style="color: #cc99ff;">4 Lions at any given time</span>. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span></p> </p> <p><span style="color: #ff00ff;">"With your help WHF can make a positive difference to the future of big cats through the vital breeding programmes at our Kent facility as well as making a difference to Big Cats throughout the world. Your help does make a difference and is most appreciated." -FROM THE WEBSITE&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">Again i would just like to thank all you <span style="color: #ff0000;">fantastic people</span> that will<span style="color: #ff0000;"> donate </span>to such a good cause.</span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #ff99cc;">T</span><span style="color: #ffcc99;">H</span><span style="color: #ffff99;">A</span><span style="color: #ccffcc;">N</span><span style="color: #ccffff;">K</span> <span style="color: #99ccff;">Y</span><span style="color: #cc99ff;">O</span><span style="color: #ff99cc;">U</span> <span style="color: #ff0000;">&lt;3</span></span></strong></span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;"><a title="wildlife heritage foundation" href="http://www.whf.org.uk/index.esp" target="_blank">http://www.whf.org.uk/index.esp</a></span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;">Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
