Story

Terminal velocity here I come!

I'm usually not scared of heights or depths ... up trees, ladders, on roofs, 100 metre drop offs underwater etc., but the thought of jumping out into nothing at 15000 ft I must admit makes me think 'was i crazy to say i'd do this'! 

I've had lots of offers to sponsor me for £000s if i jump without a parachute ... nice! thanks guys!

I'm sure it'll be fine and they'll only need a cattle prod to get me out of the plane. If you'd like to come and watch on Sat 5th June at Dunkerswell, you're welcome and if you'd like to sponsor me (with a parachute and instructor strapped on) then please give as much as you can, the charity has great plans to help learning disabled kids into the future and every little helps ...
