Strakka Racing Driver Nick Leventis – Record Everest Skydive
The date for our amazing Ambassador Nick Leventis’ Everest Skydive is drawing closer and closer! His Strakka Racing team have already had an amazing season with their record achievements at Le Mans and amazing win in the Hungaroring 1000 Kilometres! They are great supportors of Global Angels – their HPD racecar has carried our logo all season, and it is embroidered on the driver’s race suits!
Nick will be attempting the highest Everest tandem skydive this coming October, in the name of Global Angels and refugee kids on the Thai-Burma border – he aims to raise £50,000! What a brilliant Ambassador he is.
Nick and his wife Sophie became Angel Ambassadors earlier in the year when they travelled to Mae Sot in northern Thailand and made a short film about the refugee children living on the Thai-Burma there, all in need of our help.
See their moving film…
“Our hearts went out to the refugee children we met there. Tens of thousands of children live in harsh conditions in shacks or squalid boarding houses, with too little food, and rudimentary schools. It is hard to believe that they are safer and better cared for in Thailand than in their own country, but they have fled a brutal government and an endless civil war. Some are with their parents, but many are orphanss. We met one girl whose mother had been killed by a landmind and her father shot by the Burmese army. Some children have run away after being constripted as soldiers, porters or human minesweepers. Burma has more child soldiers than any other country in the world.” - Nick Leventis
