Unique challenge!!!

I have been losing my eyesight from the age of 14 and now 25 I'm nearly blind. Regardless, I have recently completed a helidrop on a snowboard. Please sponsor me!

Ok you may be thinking, he's blind, and he wants to do a helidrop, and on that note, your thinking what exactly is a helidrop?

The challenge involved me being taken up in a helicopter and dropped on a glacier. With the help of a sighted friend, who gave me directions through the use of a walky talky, I was able to snowboard down the glacier avoiding the dangers one would face in such an environment such as cliffs, cracks in the ice and the most deadliest, an avalanche.

It's you who will make my challenge worth while by sponsoring me. Every pound will go toward raising £14,000 to help 300 children obtain a future. These children lost everything in the 2005 Asian earthquake. I want to provide them with 10 schools.

If you wish, you could visit my blog site afterwards for a good laugh: www.feeltheedge.com
