Heather Takes to the Skies

 

Rainbow Trust Children's Charity provides emotional and practical support to families when their child has a life threatening or terminal illness; immediate help is available for families 24 hours a day. Support is offered from diagnosis through treatment and, should a family become bereaved, we continue to support them for as long as they need us. We help family members cope with the present and prepare them for the future.

Rainbow is celebrating its 25^th Anniversary and Heather is once again taking to the skies (she did a sky dive in 2006) to raise funds to support our services for families who have a terminally ill child. Heather has been involved with Rainbow since 1988 and I've seen the steady growth from humble beginnings to the organisation it is today, helping over 1150 families this year, an increase of 18%.

 

To celebrate Rainbow's 25^th Heather has committed to undertake a wing walking display - 11.45am on Saturday 18 June at Membury Airfield in Berkshire. In 1988 she was a mere slip of a girl and now she just scraped in to the qualifying criteria but that's life. Heather says "am I terrified - yes! Am I mad - perhaps just a little but it is in a good cause and I have set myself an ambitious target of £25K which will help 20 families over a year".

Unfortunately, due to aviation law it is not possible to take part in wing walking to raise money for charity. This is a strict law set by the Civil Aviation Authority and so to avoid falling out with the CAA or breaking the law I hope you will consider sponsoring my 'training' programme in order that I might take part. I hope you will consider sponsoring Heathers training program to enable her to take part.

Please help Heather achieve this in Rainbow's Jubilee year - every donation will make a difference and you can donate by visiting http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/Heatherfliesagain
