Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>Some of you may know that this is something I've wanted to do for a while now and the opportunity has come about for me to do it this year before I graduate.</p> <p>Basically, I'm going to be doing a tandem skydive - jumping out of a plane at 12,500 ft and plummeting towards the ground at approximately 125mph! Sounds like fun right!</p> <p>Some people do this to conquer fears and stuff, but I'm purely doing it just for fun and because I think it seems like a pretty awsome thing to do ... I've chosen to raise the money for Victim Support, which is a very worthy charity, and plus, if I raise enough money, then they'll pay for me to do it!</p> <p>All the proceeds from my skydive will be used to help young witnesses in their preparation, by Victim Support's Young Witness Service, for court in Nottinghamshire trials - these usually invovle violent and sexual cases.</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 - the deadline for sponsors is 2nd April (two weeks before the jump) so please please please don't put off being generous!</p> <p>Thaaaaanks xxxx</p>
