Story

With a parachute specially designed for two people, I will board an aircraft and soar to around 13,000 feet (approximately two miles high!). When we leave the plane, we will fall at about 120 mph, descending to 5,000 feet in around 40 seconds. At this point, my instructor will open the parachute and fly me safely back to earth. Hopefully!

Fredericks Foundation is a little known about Charity providing micro-finance to enable individuals to start their own business who without their help would be unable to move forward with their lives. When the bank won't help Fredericks looks to step in and help where they can. For many, self employment is the only way out of benefit dependancy but equally they cannot obtain the support they need from the usual sources businesses go to. 

Fredericks looks to support individuals from all walks of life weather they are homeless or have a disability right through to just not having the match funding most lenders require.
