Dear Parents / Carers

RE: MR. IRELAND’S PARACHUTE JUMP NEXT WEEK!

I am writing to tell you that on Monday, 20th June, I will be making my way to Dunkeswell Airfield, Near Honiton, in order to undertake a tandem skydive to raise money for the Starcross PTFA.

As well as hopefully raising between £300-£500, I will also be helping the providers, Skydive Buzz, to break the Guinness World Record for the highest number of tandem skydives from the ultimate height (15,000ft / flight level 150) in one day.

I am, of course, a little nervous, but I am really looking forward to undertaking this in order to hopefully raise some useful funds for the PTFA, which will ultimately come back to the children, their activities and their resources.

If you’re willing, I would love you to sponsor me for this event.

I’d like to raise a minimum of £300-£500 for this, and if every family contributes £2.50, we’ve already made around £360 ! Any amount would do, but if you’re willing to sponsor me with anything more than that, then I’m sure that we can easily meet and exceed our outer target of £500, and beyond!

To sponsor me, it’s easy really. Just send back the slip with your sponsorship money, or your commitment to sponsor me, and it’s as easy as that. I’ll say a special thank you to everyone who sponsored me after the event, and if I’m allowed to use my own camera, I’ll hold a very quick screening of the jump after school one day next week.

I’d love as many of you as possible to support me and the school. It promises to be a scary, but worthwhile activity as a fundraiser, and I hope that together we can raise a significant amount for the children at school.

Regards

Iannis Ireland
