Story

<p>It is a well&nbsp;documented fact that Dave does not like planes, and&nbsp;isn't exactly keen on heights.</p> <p>So&nbsp;it&nbsp;is with some level of madness that I decided to set myself a decent challenge in the name of charity. That being on the 6th May 2012, I will jump in a plane, fly to 10,000ft, and then simply open the door and jump out (hopefully still attached to a parachute or something)</p> <p>This irrational behaviour is all in aid of the British Heart Foundation,&nbsp;leading the way in heart disease research and prevention.&nbsp;This research will, I am sure, have had a large benefit for my old man who has come through multiple heart attacks and&nbsp;several bypass surgeries.&nbsp;It may also help my own future if I keep on eating chips&nbsp;at my&nbsp;current consumption rates :-)</p> <p>If you're asking yourself "Why should I pay for someone else to "enjoy" themselves getting pushed/thrown out of a plane?"&nbsp; Well, it's simple. If I reach the target sponsorship, then the jump itself is free. This will enable me to donate the money I would have paid for the jump, directly to the charity, so adding another &pound;200 to the total raised!</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the&nbsp;British Heart Foundation&nbsp;and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now!</p>
