Red Devils Parachute Jump
Fundraising Target: £5000
My Donations to date: £784
Fundraiser(s): Steve Prescott
Event: Red Devils Parachute
Event Date: 01st June 2001
Charitie(s) Supported: Steve Prescott Foundation,
The bravery and commitment shown by Steve has
inspired many people, not least, St Helens’ fan’s, Andy Reid , Tony Parkins and
former Rugby League player Jimmy Gittins, who will join him on his parachute
challenge in at Langar Airfield in Nottingham on June 1st.
Andy Reid’s life
was turned around after losing both legs and his right arm when a Taliban
bomb exploded while he was on patrol with the 3rd Battalion of the Yorkshire
Regiment in
Tony, whose leg was amputated in 2009, made a
commitment at the time of his operation to ensure as far as possible, that his
own setback would not limit his life.
Tony’s mother, Sheila is no less inspiring.
Having previously completed her own sky dive for the Steve Prescott Foundation
during Tony’s rehabilitation, Sheila has made the decision to jump again, this
time alongside Steve and her son.
They will also be joined by Jimmy Gittins who
tragically broke his neck while playing rugby league in 2002, he was registered
as quadriplegic and was told he would never go through life unaided.
You help and support is very much
appreciated, please give generously.
The Steve Prescott Foundation, sponsored by
Engage Mutual, has a schedule of events planned for the remainder of 2010, and
counts on the generous nature of the public to raise much needed funds for the
two charities close to Steve’s heart.
There are limited places available to join
Steve Prescott on the parachute jump, which takes place on 1
June. Participants need to raise a minimum of £800 in sponsorship, which
will be donated to the Foundation’s two charities. Please contact Martin
Blondel on 07971 792859 for details.
