Story
Originally, I wanted to use this event as a small fundraiser for my Aunt Angie Gibbon, as she was diagnosed with lung cancer, to support one of her final wishes of going abroad, as she had never left the UK.
Unfortunately, she is no longer with us; but we still wish to support her- no matter where she is now.
Angie, as an ex-convict, felt immense satisfaction with getting her life back on track and wanted to use her infectious energy to support others to do the same. She was working on creating an organisation to do exactly this. This is unlikely to develop without her.
Luckily- there are a few charities that align with her sentiment.
Women in Prison, Clean Break, Humankind.
There are a lot of great org's that I can choose but I'm choosing to support Working Chance.
Working Chance helps women with convictions to develop the confidence, skills, and self-belief they need to overcome any barriers to their employment, find jobs and build careers.
I'm not the best with heights - I've always enjoyed pushing the limits of my fears and heights have always been one of the scariest for me. I remember back in primary school bawling my eyes out because I wouldn't trust my harness when jumping off of a small ledge. I simply couldn't face a scary drop.
Knowing I'm jumping out of a plane to "secure the bag" for this charity is horrifying.
If we hit £250 I will be posting videos and photos of me screaming my soul away so y'all can laugh at me!
