hi my husband and best friend lisa bennett are going to skydive for the road safety charity BRAKE every day 70 people are injured or killed on our roads unfortunatly last year we found out the hard way just how road accidents could effect every day life our friends were effected when drink driver luke mccormick hit thier car killing 10 yr old arron and 8 yr old ben peak and seriously injuring thier dad and lisa bennett's husband and her 2 young boys here is my husbands story as to why he is doing this jump
Everybody see's on the TV virtually everyday the out come of what happens when things go wrong on the roads when somebody climbs into a car knowing that they have had a drink. Well to be quite honest I dont think that really sinks in until it effects somebody you know personally! well imagine that happening to 2 people you know personally and it just beggers belief. Ben and Arron Peak were 2 of the most fun loving kids you could have come across, they would always look out for each other and their friends. They would always attempt to do something funny just to get you to smile!
Unfortunatley their time on earth was cut short in a car accident caused by a drink driver! Not only that, it left 4 other people that were in the car truely physically and mentally scared for life! Not everyone remembers those that survived the crash and forget they need help and support. Then theres the aftermath where the rest of the family have to attempt to pick up the pieces and try to keep it together and this is just part of where BRAKE the road safety charity comes into it! Brake is a national road safety charity that works to stop death and injury on UK roads and to support people who have been bereaved or injured by a road crash.
I could really do with any contribution what so ever you can make and I really hope I manage to raise an absolute minimum of £1000
the jump is to held at grange over sands in cumbria on the 7th june 2009 as a memorial to arron and ben xxxxx
please if there is anyone out there that can help and donate to this cause i would really appriciate it
