In October last year I committed to raise $1500 for one of our Penrith charities called Westcare Community Services. The craziest thing about this fundraiser is that I jumped out of a plane at 14,000 feet for this great cause.
It was so exciting and the atmosphere on the day was brilliant with many of us never having skydived before.
Parachute4Penrith is now an annual event with the next Family Day set for October 31, 2009. This year they are involving a kids fundraising event which includes a skip-a-thon and a bike-a-thon.
This is such a great event which raised $35,000 last year. I would encourage EVERYONE to give it a try. Why not show your support and see if you can help Westcare surpass last years target.
