Story

<p>Hi there my wife very kindly purchased a tandem parachute jump and life insurance policy for my birthday! For those of you who know me I'm a bit of an adrenalin junkie - so this seems to be just the ticket!</p> <p>As the cost of the jump has been covered, I thought it would be a good opportunity to see if I could riase funds for 2 charities</p> <p>Firstly Garden Organic - where the money will be usedat Ryton Gardens in the new Compost and Soil fertility Garden which will be opening in spring 2012</p> <p>Secondly Action Aid - a chairty I have supported for a number of years.</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</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>Unfortunately I waited for 6 hours to to my jump, but strong winds and cloud meant I would have to wait for another day - so I'm booked in for Saturday 3rd December - fingers crossed the weather is decent!!</p>
