Story
Thanks for visiting our JustGiving page.
Jimmy Higham, a friend to Claudia and boyfriend to Luisa, lost his battle to cancer in December. He was very special to us both , as he was to everyone he ever knew.
Jimmy inspired us to create a bucket list prior to us travelling for five months around the world. He would talk about having one and he made us promise we would try things whilst we were travelling, that we would never have thought about doing (for e.g he forced us to promise we would eat a cobra in Vietnam!).
We spent months planning our trip and Jimmy couldn't help become part of it. After he passed away, just weeks before we began travelling, we decided that we wanted to make him a part of our trip. We created the bucket list using his ideas, and with the help of many others, of things we hoped to do.
The list is below:
1.Skydive 2.Learn to Surf in Bali/ Australia 3.Shower under a waterfall 4.Write a song 5.Get a tatoo 6. Have a mud bath 7.Cook a BBQ in Australia 8.Swim with sharks 9.Live wild for 3 days 10.Eat a Cobra in Vietnam 11.Bunje jump the Nevis 12.

We understand that this a unique fundraising idea but we would be grateful if you donated - every penny raised will go towards a bursary set up in Jimmy's honour. We will not be using any of the donations to pay for any of the activities.
Most importantly we just wanted to get people thinking about what they've always wanted to do - as Jimmy has inspired us to do things we never imagined we could or would do.
Thank you and as Jimmy would say...."Go large or go home!"
