Help Heather get of jail!

Feb 15 2008 Submitted by Heather Smith

ALONG with seven others, including two leaders, from the Birmingham area, I have been selected to represent our city in a jailbreak across Europe and Scandinavia this summer.

Our team will break out of a secret location in Edinburgh and travel across a further five countries to arrive in Tallin, Estonia 15 days later.

We have to record and complete various tasks and challenges en route to earn our 'parole' and then have 15 hours to make it back to Guide HQ in Birmingham.

We will be competing against 11 other teams and will meet and learn about many people from different backgrounds and cultures on our experience.

We are busy fundraising in as many different ways as possible both individually and with our team members to earn the £950 each this challenge costs. Out of this we have to pay for all our travel, accommodation and food.

I am writing in the hope that you may be able to help us 'get up and go' either by sponsoring us, or providing T-shirts or other merchandise we can use towards fundraising, raffles or prizes etc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
