Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

It was a rather spooky coincedence that not long after my Dad suffered a stroke, the Stroke Association contacted where I work, to see if anyone would be interested in raising money for them by doing a zip wire ride/fall, what ever you want to call it.

Now I am TERRIFIED of heights! to the point in some department stores, I have to use the lift, I can't use the escalators, how bad it that. Speed dont worry me at all, I ride a sports Motorcycle and used to race quads, but they dont go up in the air. 

So as you can see, this is going to be a major issue for me, but its also my way of giving something back.  Dad is now back home and making a slow but steady recovery.  He is 84 so no spring chicken but is again managing to cook, clean and care for himself, something in the early days after the stroke, I honestly didnt think he would ever be capable of doing again.

He still gets muddled up, the microwave is always the worst offender for that! but I have my Dad back, a bit frailer than before but we are now out of the woods.

The last thing either of us thought was that when he went into hospital for a routine operation on his knee, he would also have a stroke.  He dos'nt remember anything about the first couple of weeks afterwards and perhaps thats for the best, me having to feed him, him not even knowing who I was or where he was.

So there you have it, one person with terrible vertigo ready to chuck herself out of a window hanging on to a wire that should take me down to the ground.

Wish me luck and PLEASE PLEASE, donate as much as you can.  OH and think of me when I get to that window to step out of it! as I'm going to be petrified!
