Erikka becomes a Booby Bird |
|
|
I'm going to raise £20,000 and then jump out of a plane. The £20,000 goes to cancer research and support in Scotland.
I'm jumping with 19 others. We are the Booby Birds. Check out the official website at www.boobybirds.co.uk. |
The idea of jumping out of a plane terrifies me. But that is the point. The jump is meant to aproximate the fear a person might feel when diagnosed with breast cancer.
In Scotland, one woman every 3 hours is diagnosed with breast cancer and one woman dies of the disease every 7 hours. That's mums, sisters, wives, girlfriends and daughters.
I'm doing this because it's time for me to Give Something Back. I'm fortunate in that I'm healthy, have a good job, a loving husband and family and I enjoy life. I can spend some of my time ruthlessly exploiting my contacts in the business community to raise money for people who've just gone into freefall.
Here's where you can pay: X
If you want to know more, email me at X
The funds raised will be split accordingly: 50% to Scottish breast cancer charities; 35% invested to support breast cancer projects now and in the future; etc
