Emily Sultan - Drop Your Boss 2020

Jumping out of a plane is my biggest fear so when Dan approached me I was very reluctant. I lead a pretty safe and fear-free life currently but I'm often encouraging my teen to face her fears at this tricky age. Teens are constantly summoning up courage in so many situations and I am inspired by my own daughter to do the same. For me this jump has many motivations but I am especially keen to show my teen that I am here to face fears with her; it's not a one way street. I will walk the walk (or jump the jump), and lead by example. Positive role-modeling is a huge part of the success of the Graeme Dingle Foundation's programmes and I have seen it in action and its incredible impact.

The Graeme Dingle foundation are a foundation who are worth their weight in gold for our young people. Especially the ones less privileged; I jump for them also.

At the Graeme Dingle Foundation they believe "what you have on the inside is greater than any obstacle you may face". In the spirit of that ethos, I am making the leap, 10,000 feet out of a plane, to help raise money towards the incredible work the foundation does here in our own community.

The Graeme Dingle Foundation run Project K, Kiwi Can, and Stars; reaching over 3,500 young people in the Bay of Plenty. These are all proven and successful school-based programmes that aim to inspire young people to reach their full potential by helping to build their self-esteem, promote good values and teach valuable life, education and health skills.

Help me support this critical work and donate to my skydive. Every bit helps!
