Story

<p>Ta for stopping by!</p> <p>Myself and my work-mate, Louise, have opted&nbsp;to throw&nbsp;ourselves out of an aeroplane, with another fellow attached to our backs (like a turtle) in the hope that a mechanism will deploy to catch us and drift us gently back to terra firma.</p> <p>We are each&nbsp;paying for the "privilege" entirely, and therefore this is not a "pay for me to have fun, whilst raising awareness" gig.</p> <p>Since we're doing something so daft anyway, why not spend a penny on a good cause, so that if the parachute didn't deploy - it wasn't a complete waste of everyone's time. :) (The parachute WILL open, calm down Mum).<br><br>And now for the special guest star - our chosen charity:<br><br></p> <p>Remap is a national charity working through local groups of skilled volunteers to help people with disabilities achieve independence and a better quality of life.&nbsp;</p> <p>They make or modify equipment when nothing suitable is available through mainstream sources. Items are tailor-made to be suitable for individual needs and to make a real difference to people&rsquo;s ability to rise to a particular challenge and achieve something not otherwise possible for them.<br><br>See <a title="Remap Case Studies" href="http://www.remap.org.uk/remap-case-studies/remap-case-studies.html">here </a>for all the little "tweaks of life" they have achieved for those who could do with a little ingenuinity sent their way.&nbsp; (I especially adore "Alice's special car"!)<br><br>Thanks all. You're beautiful.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
