My story

 
Thanks for visiting The Brand Surgery's Worthing Birdman fundraising page. We are FLYING OFF THE END OF WORTHING PIER as part of Worthing Birdman. This year, due to popular demand we have decided to raise money for Chestnut Tree House.

Before you read on, many thanks to Stagecoach South who have kindly donated £100 offline and also to my step dad Rich, who has donated £20, and Andy Sparsis who has collected £100 from his customers at Food and The Fish Factory. For those of you who were kind enough to donate via this site last year – we raised £445, your donations were passed direct to our chosen charities (Worthing Churches Homeless Project and Chestnut Tree House children's hospice).

As you may know, we were more like the DROWNED RATS last year, thanks to the glorious British weather! This year we are crossing everything we have and preying for a beautiful 'windless' day.

Vicky (The Brand Surgery boss) is being joined by Neeru Kareer (ex Planning Consultant Extra-ordinaire from Worthing Borough Council). And helping to push these birds to full flight is  Andrew Sparsis, from Worthing's BEST fine dining restaurants, Food and The Fish Factory. You will enjoy seeing us all dressed up – maximum pleasure guaranteed!

So please sponsor us now! Worthing Birdman takes place over the weekend of 22nd/23rd August 2009. You can watch us flying off the end of the pier from 10am on Sunday 23rd August. There may be an extra twist of something very special - but you'll have to join in the fun to see it. The Gadget Show are also there and this event is being televised!

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Chestnut Tree House, based near Worthing, 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.

We are planning on celebrating our 'hopeful' victory (staying alive and relatively un-injured), by relaxing with a few drinks in Worthing afterwards. If you are are around - you are welcome to come and buy us some drinks :-)

We look forward to seeing you there.

Lots of love from The Brand Doctor, Matron Sparsis and Nurse Neeru xxx
