Story
Hi my name is Jimmy simpson, I'm 17 and don't have time to worry about fear. Since birth I have dealt with circumstances which take courage to deal with. I have cerebral palsy which is a physical condition that occurs as a result of brain damage during birth. For me, my condition effects the things others would find easy, but that does not stop me. I'm a thrill seeker and love my life. I enjoy adrenerline filled activities including zip wires, free fall drops and rollercoasters.
On the 25th of June I am taking part in a 15,000ft skydive in order to raise money for my school. My school has helped and supported me since I was three years old, they have also encouraged me to believe in myself and focus on what I can do rather than what I can't.
For me doing this skydive is a dream, something I have always wanted to do. The skydive will boost my adrenaline as it will be the biggest thing to date I have done. Allowing me to raise this money will help support me, my friends and the other students at school accomplish our dreams.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story, I would be extremely gratefull if you could help me support my school by donating. Thank you for reading.
