Share your special day - if you have a special anniversary or wedding coming up why not request that your family and friends give a donation to the TSA instead? You can set up an online donations page as a quick, easy and secure way for your family and friends to send their donations (see below).

A gift in memory -we benefit greatly from donations made in memory of someone special. Donations in lieu of flowers at a loved ones funeral or in memory of their birthday is a touching way to remember someone and ensures that the work of the TSA continues from generation to generation.

Skydiving and parachuting - choose from a tandem sky dive, a solo parachute jump or a professional skydiving course. Visit Skyline’s website or call 0870 345 8000 or for other challenging fundraising ideas see the Charity Challenge website

How about trying the London2Paris bike ride, a popular event run by Skyline (see above). Book early if you are interested! Choice of dates: 11-15 June 2008, 2-6 July 2008, 10-14 September 2008.

Are you fit enough to ‘Race the Train’? Run as fast as you can to follow the famous Talyllyn Railway on it’s 14.75 mile route through the Wesh countryside and raise money for the TSA! Tickets are even available for family and friends to ride the train and encourage the runners as they steam past. The event takes place on Saturday 16 August 2008.
