Hi
My name is Jude Wright and I am doing the Zip Wear Challenge 2014 to raise money for a charity very close to my heart.
Hug in a Bag ... www.huginabag.com
My training has begun in earnest ... I have managed to jump from the bottom stair on a few occasions ..once I am confident with that I am hoping to progress from there to the front door step (2 steps high ) ... Hopefully by the date I will have perfected the art of leaping from a great height and zip wiring ( if there is such a phrase) across the River Wear in Sunderland.
Along with 2 other women I set up Hug in a Bag to give one more hug in the form of a pamper bag containing gifts and information leaflets to men and women in our region diagnosed with Breast Cancer. We knew from our own experiences that you can feel very alone and vulnerable at this time, and we wanted to show our understanding and support in the form of an extra hug.
A 'hug' that says "you're not on your own" and "we know what you are going through.
Each bag costs approximately £50 to put together and we aim to raise about £15,000 a year, so every donation no matter how big or small helps to give one more "HUG".
We need more Hugs ...after all ....everyone likes a Hug
Thank you for your support
