Story

<p>Thanks for visiting my JustGiving page, it probably means that you are a lovely person.</p> <p>On March 12th I am going to hurl myelf out of a plane in a&nbsp;13 500 foot&nbsp;tandem skydive over an air field in Lincolnshire, during which I will reach speeds approaching 120 miles per hour.</p> <p>I am doing this challenge for READ international which&nbsp;is a fantastic cause - in the last five years they have distributed 564 000 used text books to schools in Tanzania, as well as sending sports kits, science equiptment and stationary to schools in Uganda and Tanzania, which really need all the help charities like READ international can&nbsp;offer in order&nbsp;to give their students&nbsp;the chance of a decent education.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple and completely safe (hopefully the skydiving will also be like this). Personal details are safe with JustGiving - they&nbsp;will not&nbsp;sell them on or send you unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.</p> <p>This is a fantastic cause and I imagine my nerves will be in tatters by March. Please donate as much as you can.</p> <p>Thank you.</p>
