Story

<p class="float-l"><strong><span style="color: #800000;">Hello and welcome to Max Shaw's Awesome Sky-Diving-For-Charity Page!</span></strong></p> <p class="float-l"><strong><span style="color: #800000;">In March 2011, I'll be hurling myself out of an airborne vehicle to raise money for READ International. We need to reach a target of &pound;380 for the charity.</span></strong></p> <p class="float-l"><strong><span style="color: #800000;">I'm not sure how high the jump will be, but I expect we'll be approaching the limits of the Earth's atmosphere. I've never done it before, so I'm pretty scared. But its for charity!</span></strong></p> <p class="float-l"><strong><span style="color: #800000;">READ International delivers collaborative, student led initiatives to improve access to education across the world and increase youth participation in the global community. READ International is made up of three flagship projects. The first is the collection of good-quality relevant textbooks from secondary schools from the UK to be distributed across Tanzania. To date they have sent over 550,000 textbooks since 2005.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color: #800000;">Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
