<p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Wow I have done it - jumped from 12,000 ft (it seemed higher!)</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Jump was fab - would recomend it to everyone - please look at photos and all donations will go towards the research conference that is being held next month - good news they are working on a gene therapy which should improve the lives of children with AADC</span></strong></p> <p>thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. As a friend of the a co-director of The AADC Research Trust involved in the never ending task of fundraising I try to think of ways to raise money as well as setting myself a personal challenge. This time I am determined to conquer my fear of losing weight &amp; flying in one go in order to raise much needed funds for Jake &amp; all the other children worldwide who suffer from a rare brain neurotransmitter disease "AADC"deficiency. I am therefore taking to the skies over Headcorn, Kent to undertake a Tandem Skydive later this year on Sunday 11th September with Jacqui - by then i will have to have lost 22lbs in weight to be able to do the jump Full information of our aims &amp; achievements to date can be found on our website www.aadcresearch.org PLEASE, PLEASE take a few moments to visit our site &amp; see how your donations are so vital in helping these children When people say I must be crazy, my reply is "jumping from a plane at 13000 feet is nothing compared to the constant challenges, anguish &amp; suffering faced by the affected children &amp; their families" Please sponsor me for as much as you are able &amp; listen out for the loud scream over Kent on September 11th!
