Story

<p><span style="color: #000080;"><span style="color: #000000;">In April this year I'm going to be throwing myself out of a plane, in aid of <span style="color: #000080;"><strong>Ryedale Special Families</strong><span style="color: #000000;">&nbsp;and <strong><span style="color: #333399;">CLIC Sargent</span></strong>.(<span style="color: #1f497d; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-themecolor: dark2; mso-ansi-language: EN;" lang="EN"><a href="http://www.justgiving.com/tandemskydive2011/"><span style="font-family: Calibri; color: #800080; font-size: small;">http://www.justgiving.com/tandemskydive2011/</span></a></span>).&nbsp;Hopefully, the instructor I'm strapped to&nbsp;will make sure I arrive safely at the&nbsp;ground, still in one piece!</span></span></span></span></p> <p><span style="color: #000080;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #000080;"><span style="color: #000000;">To make this craziness all worthwhile, please support me by donating to my cause through this page. Any donation, no matter how small, is very much appreciated. </span></span></span></span></p> <p><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>Ryedale Special Families</strong></span> is an independent charity founded in the early 1990s by a group of parents of disabled children, with the aim of helping families with the <span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">challenges </span>they face.</p> <p>They provide help to families,&nbsp;from&nbsp;advice, access to a sensory room,&nbsp;home visits, through to much needed respite care. Their support is invaluable to families that often have little support from elsewhere.</p> <p>My girlfriend Tanya has a <span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">severely </span>disabled son Jack who has brought her so much joy over the years. But <span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">occasionally </span>she has needed that little extra support, sometime just someone to talk things through with. This charity, and others throughout the country, help families cope with extra <span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">challenges </span>they face, and have been a great help to Tanya and many other families over the years.</p> <p><span style="color: #333399;"><strong>IF YOU WISH TO SUPPORT CLIC SARGENT, please go to this alternative website :</strong></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="color: #1f497d; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-themecolor: dark2; mso-ansi-language: EN;" lang="EN"><a href="http://www.justgiving.com/tandemskydive2011/"><span style="font-family: Calibri; color: #800080; font-size: small;">http://www.justgiving.com/tandemskydive2011/</span></a><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">&nbsp;<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="color: #1f497d; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-themecolor: dark2; mso-ansi-language: EN;" lang="EN"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span></span></span>&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="color: #000000; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-themecolor: dark2; mso-ansi-language: EN;" lang="EN"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">CLIC Sargent is a charity that provides vital<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;" lang="EN"> care for children and young people with cancer and their families.</span></span></span></span></span></p>
