Story

The story so far... or so they say!

Peter and Veena were welcomed into the Retail Experience Development Team (RED) earlier this year but were not told of the one initiation condition until one fateful day.

That one day finally came in September in a monthly team meeting it was announced that two people will have to jump out of a plane for a Sky Dive on Sarurday 12th December. Everyone rushed to put their name forward when... two names were drawn from the hat and unbeknown to them this was the point of no return...

Peter & Veena went away and reviewed their lives to date and discussed how they were putting their lives into peril and that if they were to go out, they would do so in the name of charity.

New hope Cambodia is a fantastically worthwhile charity who really need financial support for their cause - they are a grass roots organization working within Cambodian families and community. Whilst 'free education for all' is our priority, an important step in breaking the cycle of poverty, we cannot ignore the chronic malnutrition; ill health and appalling living conditions Cambodian students and families face every day.

We both await the 12th December with a mixture of dread and excitement and would really appreciate your support in meeting our £500 target which will be generously matched by Barclays to raise a cumulative target of £1000. We would like to thank everybody in advance for visiting our page and donating money to a good cause - we can assure you we shall be posting up pictures after the event, ugly as they may be!!
