I am raising money for a charity close to my heart, BEAT! I have struggled with a disordered eating habits for so long now and although I am in recovery I have my bad days. B-eat has helped me so much through the ups and downs, and they continued to support me when I feel I can not got on and now I am in recovery I really want to do something for b-eat and give something back to them for all they have done for me - Two friends have offered to jump with me and we all would be truly grateful for anything you can give.
All money raised will go directly to b-eat, so the more we raise the better. We will be jumping for joy from 10,000 ft high on the 22nd May 2010.
