My story

An idle comment to my wife - "Ooh, that parachute jumping looks fun" - has resulted in me being faced with the real thing.

I will be jumping out of a plane at something like 13,000 feet over Wiltshire on 13th September. Assuming I don't bottle it. Seems a long way up to me. Most importantly, I will be doing it in support of the Chilterns MS Centre, a charity with which my family has close links, and which does fantastic work with MS sufferers in our area. But the centre needs funding. Everything helps.

If you could find a few quid, please donate. (Don't forget the Gift Aid bit either.) After all, I am the one falling out of the plane, not you. To find out more about the work of the Centre, please click one of the links on the left hand side.

Thanks

Paul

The JustGiving bit:

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

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.

So please dig deep and donate now.
