Raising money for

Crisis

Charity Registration No. 1082947

Crisis is the national charity for single homeless people. We are dedicated to ending homelessness by delivering life-changing services and campaigning for change.

Our innovative education, employment, housing and well-being services address individual needs and help people to transform their lives.

We are determined campaigners, working to prevent people from becoming homeless and advocating solutions informed by research and our direct experience.

We have ambitious plans for the future and are committed to help more people in more places across the UK. We know we won’t end homelessness overnight or on our own. But we take a lead, collaborate with others and, together, make change happen.

My story

As you read this, please remember homelessness can have many causes, from domestic violence to job loss. One of the first things lost by people under those circumstances is hope.

In the interests of reaching my charity goal, my pilot (and flight instructor) and fellow DJ chum Adam West and I have come up with a cunning plan. Simply put, Adam has agreed to donate his time and aircraft for my charity efforts for nothing. Here's the deal:

£30 sponsorship or more = one person on a free 20 min flight around Southern England (and a sandwich)

£60 sponsorship or more = one person on a free 20 min flight around Southern England DURING WHICH YOU ACTUALLY FLY THE PLANE!!!!...... and a sandwich!!

I have done this, and it's a hard buzz to beat!!!

There will be three separate days, Sunday afternoons, across summer 2009, to make sure we can fit everyone in.

The flights will leave from an airfield convenient to London, and can cater to individuals, or groups of up to three people. We can fit lots of people in during one afternoon so plenty of space available. Obviously, whoever has forked out the big sponsorship dough gets the front seat "pilot" position as it's hard to fly from the back seats!! Go on, sponsor me, there's nothing to be afraid of (except perhaps the sandwich)!!!

Please remember this is all for an extremely good cause, so not only will you be getting the chance to go "WOOOOO!!!" as you fly around, you'll also be doing a very good thing, and helping out Crisis in their ongoing efforts to ease the inconceivably tough times being faced by homeless people.

It's guaranteed to be the most fun you can have with your clothes ON... and will cost you nothing - it's a gift from Adam and I to say thanks for helping to make a difference to peoples who's lives need a little good news.

Thank you very much for your time!!
