On the 11th March I will be jumping (more likely being pushed) out of a plane to fall towards the ground at over 120mph! I will be spending about 35seconds screaming blue murder before the poor guy attached to me opens the parachute and we will hopefully make slightly slower progress towards solid ground.

This is all to raise money for READ international, a student-led charity that collects no longer needed educational resources and sends them to Tanzania and Uganda. Since 2003 they have sent 850,000 books to Tanzania and 29,000 to Uganda and are currently supporting initiatives to build libraries so that access to these resources is improved. I'm sure everyone can appreciate just how much the children and schools need these books and all the other support READ provides.

I'm aiming to raise £500... If I reach this target I will dig even deeper in my own pocket and get my skydive recorded so everyone can have a jolly good laugh at my expense!
