Thank you every one so much who have donated so far, every penny that is donated helps the Katie Piper Foundation to change lifes.
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Hi my name is Will I am 17 and was severly burnt at a BBQ in may last year, i was hospilitised for 2 months at Frenchay hospitol suffering from 40% burns to the neck, torso, and arms. I had numerous skin grafts and I endured intensive physiotherapy which was extreemley painful and at times I felt like giving up then when I was in hospital Katie Piper came to visit me and encouraged me on my long road to recovery and I am now proud to be an ambassador for the Katie Piper Foundation, http://www.katiepiperfoundation.org.uk/. I would like to help raise money for people with burns, or disfigurements to help them feel positive about them selves and to be able to provide them with the care and treatment they need. The money will be used to help build a 'scar and burns management clinic' to be able to give people the treatment they need. We aim to improve burns rehabilitation by providing funds for treatment and therapies to individuals and encourage acceptance of burns victims and people with disfigurements in society. I would like to do a skydiving event to help raise money for the katie piper foundation. I was also involved with a Documentory called Katie my beautiful Friends, http://www.channel4.com/programmes/katie-my-beautiful-friends/4od, This documentory is about myself and 7 other people, who are all living with burns or a disfigurement. I want to be able to make a difference and be able to help others just as Katie did for me and hopefully be able to help remove the stigma from people who may look different for what ever reason.
Right!.. so I want to give myself a challenge by jumping out of an aeroplane at 13,000 feet I will then plummet in freefall towards the ground at 200 Feet per second (120mph) for around 45 seconds (7000ft) at which point I will deploy my own parachute and fly myself into the landing zone, hopefully landing on two feet...So please dig deep and donate now and help me help others and we can all help make that difference
