Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Hello, my name is Jacob and I am just five years old. At the end of August I am going to climb up Pen Y Ghent, one of Yorkshires highest mountains in my RAF Flying Suit with my Daddy supervising me. I'm hoping to raise as much money as possible for the RAF Benevolent Fund. 

Last month the RAF allowed one of my dreams to come true, I met the Red Arrows and got a salute from them just before their final display in the UK for 2019. It was, as you can imagine, an amazing day I will remember forever and feel very lucky to have met them. 

I now think it's my turn to say thank you back and being only five years old I'm quite limited on what I can do so with the help of my Daddy I've decided to walk up Pen Y Ghent. All I ask of you to help me achieve my goal is to give a small donation of £5.00 to help me raise as much money as possible for this great cause. The Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund not only supports past, current and future members of the RAF but their spouses and their siblings.

Thank you for reading my story and please give as much as you can.
