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 13^th October 2016 that can only be described as their worst nightmare.  

As Directors we are all a bit competitive so we thought to add a 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

I hate spiders and snakes. They make my skin crawl. It stemmed from an encounter a long time ago at Victoria Train Station where I got close and personal with my nemesis – a snake. I even have photographic evidence to prove it. At the time that was it, I said never again. But here I am signing myself up to do it again.

Supporting charities has always been a big thing at Helistrat so of course I was happy to take part in the Face your Fears Challenge to raise money for our local charity Piam Brown Ward. The thought of going through with this challenge does however make me come out in a cold sweat, but there is light at the end of the tunnel with the get-out clause. So please, if you can spare a few quid, not only is it an amazing cause, but you will be saving me from this. Thank you so much.
