<p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: x-small;"><em><span style="font-style: normal;"><em> <p class="MsoNormal" style="display: inline !important;">I am 72 years old with 3 sons and 10 grandchildren and want to raise funds for <a href="http://www.troopaid.info/">TROOP AID</a>, a charity that helps injured soldiers on their return to the UK.<br />I cannot walk from John O&rsquo;Groats to Lands End or run a marathon, so I have decided to do a tandem parachute jump in order to do my bit to help these brave servicemen and women.<br />&nbsp;<br />After the initial shock, my whole family is 100% behind me and giving me all the support they can. My husband ran 2 London marathons for charity when in his 60s and so it is now his turn to help fund-raise for me!!<br />&nbsp;<br />I do appreciate what our troops do for us and when I see the horrific injuries incurred by roadside bombs (IEDs), jumping from a plane seems a minor activity if the money raised contributes to help with their recovery and makes their lives more bearable.<br />&nbsp;<br />So, please, please give generously!!</p> </em></span></em></span></p>
