Story

<div> <div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Well we did it and speaking purely for myself it was the most amazing experience, I loved every second and didn't scream once! I might have to see Louis' video to see if he did though. Highly recommended as the biggest adrenaline rush ever!! You can still sponsor us as I'd like to make the &pound;3,000 mark. Thanks for all your support! Angie.</span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"> </span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">St Thomas&rsquo; Lupus Trust Patron Louis Mariette and Campaign Director Angie Davidson are taking part in a skydive on 20th August.</span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Here's what Louis had to say:</span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">&ldquo;Why do I want to do the jump?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ever since a young child flying back and forth from Africa, the thrill of the plane surfacing above the clouds, the sun and vibrant colours inspired and gave me a sense of peace. But on this occasion it will be a contrast of wild adrenalin, the overwhelming buzz and most of all seeing a nervous hysterical Angie being pushed out of the aircraft!!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A huge thanks to all the sponsors for your very generous support, let&rsquo;s hope we have a soft landing&rdquo;.</span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">And here's what Angie had to say "My buddy Louis (or ex buddy Louis depending on how it goes) persuaded me to do this with him. As an ex Air Force officer it goes against the 'never jump out of a serviceable aircraft' adage that we were taught so this really will not come naturally to me at all. As far as screaming goes I'm pretty sure mine might be drowned out by Louis ;o)&rdquo;</span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Please make this all worth our while by sponsoring us for the St Thomas&rsquo; Lupus Trust as generously as you can - particularly if you think we're mad/brave and would never do it yourself!!!!</span></div> </div> <div>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
