Sky Dive for Diabetes · 29 June 2007

Story

PLEASE NOTE: I will now be jumping on Saturday 25th August.

Hi everyone, visiting from far and wide.

However you know me, I want to say a HUGE thank you for sponsoring this cause which is very important to me. Heck, I'm willing to jump out of a plane and plummet to my potential doom, so it must be!!

In case you need reminding, I've been diabetic for 12 years (half my lifetime now) and I'm through feeling sorry for myself - thus, this is me being ever proactive and taking a leap of faith (literally) to raise money for Diabetes UK and fulfil a crazed lifelong ambition. I've always been led to believe that having diabetes is a reason to prevent yourself from doing something - as I've come to learn, it's quite the opposite. I'm doing these things despite my diabetes, largely to prove to the naysayers that it's more than just possible for me, it's probable.

For more information about Diabetes UK, please visit their website or visit our local site at www.diabetes-brighton.co.uk for further information about our group.

Anyone in the world can donate - you don't have to be based in the UK. However, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
