Story

Hi there
I'm doing a zip slide (death slide to you and me) for Leeds Mencap on Sunday the 21st September 2008. We're hoping to try and save the Hawthorn Centre in Leeds where our daughter goes as it's a smashing place which needs to be saved. It is a fantastic resource with a fully equipped playroom, a sensory room and a parent’s room, where parents can give each other support and information on services etc. knowing that their children are being looked after by well trained members of staff. It's the only one of its kind in Leeds and unfortunately the government have pulled the plug on funding so we all have to do our thing!!

Please sponsor me as I terrify myself witless traversing Headingley Stadium, 40 metres in the air holding a small stick supported by a taut rope at astronomical speeds.

All donations will be matched by Norman Records (up to a 250 pounds limit) as well so if you sponsor me x pounds then norman records will match that x pounds as well so it's like a double money round on Family Fortunes or something. Lovely

here's their spiel.....

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Leeds Mencap 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.

OK over to you to do your bit now.  Thanks for reading as I'm sure your lives are ludicrously busy.
