I'm passing the 21 milestone and I want to give back, to help my old community!
Let me start with saying that this isn't a ploy to get a free sky-dive for my 21st, my Mum is paying as my birthday present. (Thanks Mum!)
This is a ploy to raise awareness and some money to support those who need it in my home town.
Depending on how and when our lives have crossed paths, you may or may not know my history. Born and raised in Wolverhampton... by no means the best nor the worst place in the world.
Once draped in a hoodie and part of that group of youths hanging out in the park that most would avoid, surrounded by all kinds of people from all kinds of backgrounds, there seemed to be a common struggle between us all to have and want better!
Some of us studied hard, some of us grafted hard, some of us found work, others found other things... but let's not dwell on the negatives.
My chosen charity, Catch 22 Positive Futures – Wolverhampton, help kids and teenagers get the best of their lives by providing support to those who need it when they need it most. They give people the motivation to succeed and then help get them back on track, steering them away from crime, away from drugs and onto a better, more fulfilling life.
100% of your donations will go to this charity. (I'm even donating myself!)
I'm planning to jump out of a plane.. from around 13,000 feet on my birthday - 20th July 2012. (Eekkk!) Surely that’s worth a £5?!
If you want to join me in my plummet to the earth, please feel free. Details to follow.
Thanks for your support!
