A so called friend of mine is a Fundraiser/events manager for Milton Keynes YMCA and somehow or another she's talked me into doing a Tandem Skydive THIS FRIDAY 30th OCTOBER to raise funds for the organisation. For those of you, like me, who don't know very much about the organisation - here's an extract from their web page.
"The MK YMCA is the only emergency accommodation provider in Milton Keynes for people aged 16-65. It recognises the need for young people to secure long term accommodation whilst developing the necessary life skills to achieve independence. It aims to tackle social exclusion through the provision of safe and secure accommodation as well as the delivery of learning, volunteering and social activity programmes."
It's all a bit last minute, but I'm asking everyone I know for their support by way of sponsorship to do the Skydive Challenge. If you sponsor me on line through Localgiving.com during October we can take part in the Grow Your Tenner Campaign whereby every pound donated is doubled, i.e. for every £10 sponsored on line the charity will received £20.00 (plus £2.50 Gift Aid),
It goes without saying I am absolutely terrified but as someone once said - any cause is a good cause - so I'm going for it. Wish me luck and if you do sponsor me - BIG THANKS.
Sorry Grow Your Tenner Campaign has closed - funds have all been allocated - Doh!
Due to weather conditions jumpPostponed to 9.00am Sunday 1st November.
