Story
Helistrat has enlisted its Directors to take part in a Face your Fears Fundraiser Challenge. Five Directors are all signed up to take part in a challenge on Thursday 13th October 2016 that can only be described as their worst nightmare.
As Directors we are all a bit competitive so we thought to adda twist to the challenge we would add in a get-out clause. The person who raises the most money won’t have to go ahead with their challenge - instead they will watch with delight as the other four go through with theirs!
My Challenge
Heights is the one for me. Strap me to a bungee cord or to someone skydiving and I am fine. But make me walk up and over a huge building with just a little strap on harness and I am quivering wreck, weird I know. The fear of not being secure and then slipping and falling is what freaks me out. Sweaty palms at the ready!
As one of the newbies on the Main Board I feel at a slight disadvantage compared to my, lets say, senior colleagues. But that won’t put me off. I want to win and prove the young’un in the team can out do the old boys. So please, if you don’t do this for me, do it to see the others go through with theirs, we will have the defibrillators and oxygen on standby. In all seriousness it is a great cause we are raising money for and any donation would be greatly appreciated for the Piam Brown Ward, a regional Paediatric Cancer unit based in Southampton General Hospital.
Thanks for any support!
Regards,
Ben
