Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In a rash moment of bravado I agreed to join in a Charity Tandem Parachute Skydive high above North Lincolnshire. It's the UK's highest freefall site at circa 15,000 feet.
My youngest boy plays football at Bradford City with the son of Bradford City's First Team Coach, Wayne Jacobs. Wayne was one of City's longest serving and best players over a number of years, and having got a lot from the game, decided to "put something back". This led to the formation of "One In A Million" - a Charity that helps young people and children through the active participation in organised sport in one of the UK's poorest communities.
If you are wondering how much to give, just think how much you would pay NOT to be sat on the edge of an aeroplane, 15,000 feet above ground, strapped to a stranger in who's hands your life is placed, crying, and be thankful it's me!

 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’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’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
