Story

<p><span style="color: #000000;">Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page :)</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">Okay, well university seems to have made me a bit crazy! So, my friends and I have decided to sign up to do a tandem skydive for charity, as part of a scheme called <strong>'The Great Warwick Jump 2011.'</strong>&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">So, a little bit about the <strong>jump</strong> itself:</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">- Takes place on the 12th March 2011</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">- Involves jumping out of an aeroplane at <strong>12,500ft!</strong> (With an instructor!)</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">- <strong>Free-fall</strong> for between 45 seconds - 1 minute.&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">- After this period, the parachute will open and it will take around another 5 minutes to land to the ground (hopefully all in one piece!)</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;"><a title="The Great Warwick Jump 2010" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SR7gQZs56wY" target="_blank">Check out this video from last year's Warwick jump</a></span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">The money raised through sponsorship will go to a charity called <strong>READ international. </strong>It is an extremely worthwhile cause, as the charity <strong>collects books</strong> to send to schools in places such as Tanzania and Uganda, which will help with many children's education. For more information about the charity please look at their website:&nbsp;<a title="Read International" href="http://www.readinternational.org.uk/" target="_blank">http://www.readinternational.org.uk/</a></span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">I hope that this seems crazy enough to encourage you to <strong>sponsor me!</strong> It is an extremely worthwhile charity and hopefully will be a really great experience. So please do try and contribute anything you can to this great cause!!</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Thank you all in advance :)</strong></span></p>
