Story

Dear Wonderful People

My New Years resolution this year was: 'to have more adventures than ever' so when my good friend Liz from Read International asked me if I would take part in a skydive for charity I said...'hmmm...its kind of dangerous and scary.'

Read international is a a fantastic award winning charity who improve access to education in Tanzania and Uganda. find out more at:

http://www.readinternational.org.uk/about/

I believe good education should be a basic human right and one we often take for granted, please help me to raise this money in support of Read so that the simple, yet brilliant, task of recycling and redistributing unwanted text books can be continued and grow from strength to strength!

If I can raise £300, i will throw myself out of an plane on 2nd July 2011 in celebration and in keeping with my new years resolution. If i raise a single penny over £300 I PROMISE TO OPEN MY EYES.

Love, Peace and Thankyous! xxxx
