Katie's Skydive for Lewy Body Dementia · 12 April 2010

The Lewy Body SocietyVerified by JustGiving
RCN 1114579
Lewy body dementia is the second most common cause of age-related dementia, affecting around 130,000 people in the UK. We raise awareness of the disease, provide information to patients and carers, and fund research so that in future it can be more easily diagnosed and treated.

Story

Hi everyone, Thanks so much for visiting my justgiving page!


I'd like to tell you all why I'm doing this skydive.  First of all, I have wanted to skydive since I was really tiny and have now finally been given the chance to do it somewhere interesting... LAS VEGAS!


Secondly, doing this skydive is a great way to raise money for charity, my chosen charity being the Lewy Body Society.  For those of you that aren't aware, my Grandad died a few years back with Lewy Body Dementia.  It was awful to see such a proud and wonderful man suffer with such a terrible condition and the experience deeply affected myself and my family.  To find out more about Lewy Body Dementia, please visit the link below:

Now I have the chance to help the people and families affected by this disease.  I would be incredibly grateful for any money you can donate to this charity.


I would like to point out that I have already paid for the skydive myself, so 100% of the money you give will go towards the charity (none will go towards the cost of me throwing myself out of a plane)!


Also, if you claim gift aid on your donation, for every £1 you donate approximately 25p will be added to your donation from the governement.  So, a £5 donation will actually raise approximately £6.25 for The Lewy Body Dementia Society.


Thanks again for visiting my page...Please give generously :)
