Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
On July 4th 2010, I am doing a Sponsored Tandem Parachute Jump. I will be ready to take to the skies at altitudes up to 13,000 feet I will be strapped to the front of a Tandem instructor. I will accelerate to 120 mph, covering each thousand feet in approximately 5 seconds. At 5,000 feet hopefully my parachute will deploy and land softly and gently some four minutes later.
why may you ask that I am going this ? I am doing this for a charty called Wishes 4 Kids.
Wishes 4 Kids has been created to grant a wish for children and youngsters in Leicestershire who are life limited, terminally ill, have experienced life-changing physical or emotional traumas, have suffered major abuse or are diagnosed as HIV Positive. The Charity grants wishes for those of eighteen years and below.
Wishes 4 Kids has already granted hundreds of wishes for local children.
Sadly we do not have a magical cure for the suffering of these youngsters, however, we can bring a short period of respite. The time when a child has a wish granted is a moment that will be treasured by them for the rest of their life. It is also a time which parents will remember - that time when their child forgot the suffering.
