Vanessa Phillips, founder of OutSec, is someone that has given me a lot of encouragement and ideas with developing Promise Aid. It has been very motivating to find someone who has been so supportive in offering help.

She’s doing a parachute jump with her husband, Richard, on behalf of Leukaemia Research and for very personal reasons. They would be grateful for any contribution, large or small, in helping them towards their target of £2,500.

To make it even more interesting, Vanessa is absolutely terrified of heights and gets giddy at the top of a ladder, so 15,000 feet up over the wilds of Norfolk should make it an experience to remember.

Pangea was the supercontinent that existed millions of years ago when all the continents we know today were joined together. 

Today is Pangea day. Pangea Day is a global event bringing the world together through film. Cities around the world are running a live programme of films, music and visionary speakers all about uniting people to build a better future.

Check out the Pangea Day website to find out more and watch the 24 winning films of the international competition to find the best ones that inspire, transform, and allow us see the world through another person’s eyes.

Over 20,000 people killed already. Death toll rising, 40,000 missing, 1.5 million people affected.
