Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

I am the wife of a serving soldier who is just due to go to Afghanistan. He was injured during his tour of Iraq, but was one of the lucky ones. Visiting him in hopsital and seeing how badly injured and disfigured some of his colleagues were and how much their life would be affected by their injuries, made me realise what a worthwhile charity Help For Heroes really is.

I am taking part in a parachute jump on June 28th. I am absolutely terrified of heights, I cannot even look over the edge of a tall building, so this is quite a personal challenge for me.

£500 is the minimum sponseorship I have to raise, but I am hoping to being able to raise as much money as possible for Help For Heroes.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Help for Heroes gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now, and help our heroes!
