Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>I'm doing a Tandem Skydive jump with the Red Devils in early May and want to raise as much money as possible for the Parachute Regiment Charity. The Regiment are now just coming to the end of their six month tour in Afghanistan and as you know once again it has been a tough time for all involved. By you sponsoring me for&nbsp;as much as you can spare will help both families and individuals&nbsp;in many different ways&nbsp;within this great Regiment...Thankyou.</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 charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p> <p>I have now done the jump and what an experience it was. We jumped from 8000 feet, freefell for just under a minute (but must admit it seemed longer) before the parachute was opened and we glided slowly down to earth.</p> <p>Thank you The red Devils you are a credit to The Parachute Regiment with all the hard work you do in promoting The Regiment all around the world.</p> <p>I have now reached my 2000 pound target but would love more for this great&nbsp;charity&nbsp;so please dig deep... Thank you.</p>
