The girls in New Zealand did their skydive yesterday! They jumped from 12,000 feet and said it was amazing but happend very quickly. Pictures will follow! They will be doing their bungee jump later in the month so we will update you!
We have also reached £260 in donations! Thank you so much to everyone who has donated so far! According to our website figures, we have also had over 550 views of our website which is astounding!
We are going to be speaking with BBC Radio Lincolnshire at some point in the next couple of weeks so you will be able to listen to that soon too!
Thank you again for everyone's support and keep on sharing :)
Ellie and
We now have a sponsership form if you are able to place this in your workplace, community place or collect any donations on our behalf. Any donation of time, effort and finance will go a long way to getting us to our goal to help our seleced projects in Kenya.
Thank you so much! Use our Contacts page if you would like to get in touch with us about ways you can also get involved!

Aaron and I are completely overwhelmed by the instant response to our fundraising and in just 1 day we have already reached a quarter of our target!! THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Ellie has also been having a go a twittersphere fundraising - may have tweeted Richard Branson - He loves a good plane. Also tried our fave band Jimmy Eat World. Worth a try!
Please keep telling people about what we are doing and if you have any other ideas of how we can smash our target, let us know!
I leave you with a message Aaron wrote yesterday;
I had wanted to go to Kenya this year as part of a medical outreach program, however this simply couldn't coexist with my commitments to my nursing degree - so Kenya will see me next year where I'll be a qualified registered nurse.
In the mean time, I'm helping raise money for the Kenya Fund with my dear sister by jumping out an aircraft...whilst it is flying through the air! Totally Cray Cray.
Any contributions are appreciated! The money goes towards projects round Makongeni and Muhaka in Kenya where I have previously visited; the people are sweet and welcoming but healthcare provision is pretty spotty so any help is gratefully received by local service users and healthcare professionals alike.

So today we booked our skydive! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I am soooooo nervous but excited at the same time. The only thing that could possibly make me jump out of a plane is Makongeni and Muhaka.
I will be setting up a means of fundraising ASAP so look out for it.
Until then...
