Dave from
Southport Esquires Challenge
"I have always
wanted to do something that extra bit special for someone else. As
everyone is aware charities are one of the ways in which people can
donate something themselves by doing sponsored events. The trouble
is, there are so many charities out there, and so many other people
are already doing things for them all the time that it is hard to
choose which one to go for, unless of course they have been affected
by certain events in some way or another. When I heard about One
Difference and what they were doing, I took an immediate interest in
the matter. It is a non profit organisation and all the money they
raise, or is raised for them goes directly those they are doing
their work for. One difference build playpumps for children in
Africa, giving them a sustainable sauce of water which the children
can drink as well as allow local communities to grow fresh fruit and
vegetables. A playpump is basically a lot like a play wheel which
you would usually find in a playground. As the children play on the
wheel, mechanisms are turned and pump fresh water from specially
drilled bores in the ground and into a water tower. So it is easy to
see why someone would choose to do something for such a cause. If I
am able to raise just half of my target, I know that the money
raised will go a long way in making another one of these pumps. I
hope that there are other people out there who will agree with me
that this is a worthy cause and in turn sponsor me for the jump. If
anyone would like to make a donation, they can do so by either
donating through the special website I have created at:-
justgiving.com/david-phillipson or
alternatively they can pop into the Esquires Coffee House store on
Lord Street in Southport and fill in the sponsors located at the
till. Advance cash donations are welcome and we do have a pot for
all collections." Many thanks, Dave...
