Story

<p><strong><span style="color: #008000;">Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page!</span></strong></p> <p>Most of my personal and business travel is done in the East of England - regularly driving on the A14 - which we all know has regular serious traffic accidents. As well as lots of small bumpy country roads.</p> <p>After hearing about Magpas, I understood the immense difference they make by attending serious accidents on our roads and other types of accidents resulting in serious injuries.</p> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>How Magpas makes the difference;</strong></span></p> <p>- They attend incidents by the quickest means - either by car or by helicopter.</p> <p>- They are the only Night Air Ambulance in the UK.</p> <p>- Unlike the Ambulance service - The Magpas Medics are able to give life saving treatment at the incident - meaning sometimes the difference between life and death.</p> <p>All of the Medics are volunteers and come from all over the country to give up their spare time in order to provide this life saving service.</p> <p>Magpas can only continue to operate by receiving donations and support.</p> <p>Please help me raise as much money as possible for this really worthy cause!</p> <p><strong><span style="color: #008000;">Why Sponsor me?</span></strong></p> <p>1. I am scared of heights</p> <p>2. I am not keen on flying</p> <p>3. I am an Arsenal fan</p> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>So, to sum it up;</strong></span></p> <p>I am going to chuck myself out of a small plane at a very high altitude - no doubt strapped to a complete stranger and tumble thouands of feet very very fast towards a very hard and unforgiving ground!</p> <p>In-between the departing of the aircraft and hitting the ground - I will be relying on a little bit of fabric and some string to get me down safely!</p> <p>Although Skydiving for charity is not very new.. It is for me - did I mention that I also have a fear of heights? I just hope I stay conscious for the whole dive ;-)</p> <p>So, please dig deep and donate now to a very worthy charity!</p>
