Sponsored skydive for LIFEBLOOD charity

In April one of eXu’s Explorer Scouts, Ben Webster, will be doing a sponsored skydive.  He has chosen to donate funds he raises to the charity “Lifeblood”.  Ben has chosen this charity following Nick’s brain stem stroke last summer.

The poster to the left and attached below gives a bit more information about the sky dive and you can donate to Ben by using the link below:
