June 26th 2015 - Just Giving

Just Giving is a website where you can set up an online sponsor form for any event you are doing and for almost any charity.  Just giving don't share your personal details and its very safe to use.

My eldest son is doing a sponsored silence in aid of St John Ambulance, of which he is a member at the local cadet unit.  Although he has a paper sponsor form, alot of our family and friends don't live near us so setting up the online option as well is a good idea.  He wanted to raise £50 and as of today and typing he so far has £54 and £2.50 gift aid from it.

A sponsored silence may not seem too hard a task to do, especially as its only for 1hour.  BUT this is a big thing for my son, he is always in trouble at school, St John Ambulance and at home for talking when he shouldn't, but he is under the local hospital having tests for the austistic spectrum as it is believed he has "signs of" them and they are trying to work out what.  I believe that because he has beaten his target and many people have said they don't think he will do it that HE WILL, just to prove them wrong as he is a very strong boy when it comes to things like this.

If anyone else would like to donate to him please click on the link: https://www.justgiving.com/Jarred-Watson1   many thanks if you do.

Since he has joined St John Ambulance he has calmed down a lot.  He joins in and enjoys going, he has passed his first aid and enjoys going out to events with the Adult members.  He wants to be a vet when he is older so this is a great start forhim.
