Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm 15 years old although I'll be 16 by the time i do this  and live in a rural village just outside Exeter.

 I have been going to YMCA youth clubs since 2013.  I have autism and  have struggled with self-esteem, dislike being in big groups, or with people i don't know, however the YMCA Youth workers have been there through everything with me helping me to change what i'm doing.  I now work at the YMCA 4 days a week, continuing with some of my education and also doing a youth work qualification, it's not always easy having to go in to work but i'm getting used to it and I'd be lost without the youth work that i'm involved with here.  

This skydive is something I started talking about doing last year so that I can raise money to help keep the youth clubs running, which will mean that other young people like me can be helped by the work that the YMCA do  - I would love to raise £2000 pounds and would love you help with this. 

 I'm so excited to be doing a skydive and I think i maybe a little scared on the day  - please help me reach my goal.
