... and grovelling,
Yes, sorry, it is another sponsorship request but we really do need as much support as possible.
A few colleagues and my self are doing a tandem skydive on 4th July this year to help raise money for a new charity called Swings and Smiles.
The charity has been set up with an aim to create play facilities for children with disabilities. It was launched just last week officially and has featured on Kick FM radio. Clare Balding the BBC sports presenter is the founder Patron and you can see her photo with some of us at the charity launch.
I always feel a little embarrassed asking for sponsorship but at the end of the day its the only way we can create the play facilities for the children. normal play and activity is taken for granted by most but these kids need special equipment and care to help them get the most from life.
David (in the wheelchair in the photo) is my Access Advisor who like Amy in the poster picture has Cerebral Palsey. (Amy is the daughter of one of the chariy's founders) David though thinks he is very lucky, although he his confined to a wheelchair he can communicate through speech but has little control over his limbs but he works full time. He is also doing the jump for Amy and her friends.

If you feel you can help by making a donation the details of how to do it appear on the poster below but please can you let me know (or by contacting Sarah on the number on the poster) so we can keep a log of the donation. (If can give your home address we can get tax benefits - but don't worry if you don't wish to reveal that detail)
