There are some things you do in life because you've always wanted to do them, there are some things you do because you should and ought to do them, and then there are some things that make no sense whatsoever- except that you know doing them will help many and will make a difference. Wing walking is the latter.  It makes no sense to strap oneself to an aeroplane and allow it to take off whilst you hang on for dear life, but the fact is that I believe we were made to fly high.  We were made to be free, to live life undaunted and full of hope for our future.  Sadly so many are trapped by fear, trapped by the effects of the abuse they have suffered and trapped by a deep sense of worthlessness and shame.  At Mercy UK, we want to see people set free from all that hinders them and holds them back in living the life Christ died to give them.  As such we offer a free of charge residential home for young women with life controlling issues, we deliver pastoral leadership training days for church leaders and ‘people helpers’ and produce discipleship resources for individuals, church groups and prisons. We proclaim a message of hope and transformation to inspire Christians from all walks of life to live free and stay free.  Sponsoring me to do this Wing Walk will enable us to keep seeing more people take hold of their freedom and learn that they too were made to fly!
