My story

 
Imagine standing at the edge of an open doorway in an aircraft flying at 10,000 feet - the noise of the engines and the wind ringing in your ears with only the outline of distant fields below. Now imagine leaning forward out of that doorway and letting go -- falling forward into the clouds, diving down through the air as you start freefalling at over 120mph! Then imagine the peace and quiet as the canopy opens, the steering toggles come down either side of you and you begin a tranquil parachute descent from a mile up in the air, steering yourself back down to the centre of the drop zone below. Well you can stop imagining because it's real and i think i am crazy enough to do it...

I am doing it for a charity called Anti-Slavery International which was founded in 1839, is the world's oldest international human rights organisation and the only charity in the United Kingdom to work exclusively against slavery and related abuses. We work at local, national and international levels to eliminate the system of slavery around the world by:
  • Urging governments of countries with slavery to develop and implement measures to end it;
  • Lobbying governments and intergovernmental agencies to make slavery a priority issue;
  • Supporting research to assess the scale of slavery in order to identify measures to end it;
  • Working with local organisations to raise public awareness of slavery;
  • Educating the public about the realities of slavery and campaigning for its end.
You now know why i am doing it; SO PLEASE SPONSOR ME NOW!!!

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Anti Slavery International gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

THANKING YOU IN ADVANCE (",)
