Story

<p><span style="font-family: &#39;Lucida Grande&#39;, Lucida, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 15px;"> <p>Bomb Disposal Expert Captain Lisa Head RLC was fatally injured whilst defusing a series of IED's in Helmand last April. I am joining some of&nbsp;her friends, family and&nbsp;members of the Explosive Ordnance Disposal team, for who my brother-in-law works, for a sponsored skydive. We will be jumping with the "Silver Stars", the Royal Logistics Core Parachute Display team, in her memory and all proceeds will go to the Felix Fund.</p> <p>The Felix Fund charity (<a href="http://www.felixfund.org.uk/">http://www.felixfund.org.uk/</a>) exists to support any military personnel&nbsp;and their families,&nbsp;who have conducted or assisted with Explosive Ordnance Disposal duties.</p> <p>Their current focus is funding therapeutic normalisation breaks to help bomb disposal teams readjust to life in the UK after serving in Afghanistan but they are&nbsp;also raising money for welfare and rehabilitation facilities, and building a hardship fund. This fund will of course support the trade&rsquo;s many injured and bereaved, but also members of the wider &lsquo;bomb disposal family&rsquo; who have otherwise fallen on hard times.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> </span></span></p>
