Story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

I hate heights, i mean really really dislike them. But in a pledge to raise money for charity I will parachute jump out of a plane from a very high height!!!!

Everyone who knows me well knows that this is a very daunting task, and that I will most probably cry like a small child whos scraped his knee as I fall from this height. PLEASE OPEN UR POCKETS WIDE, ITS FOR CHARITY, AND UR AMUSEMENT, I WILL TRY AND FILM IT AS WELL, AND POST IT ON HERE!!!!

One in three of us will be diagnosed with cancer during our life. and one in four will die from the disease. Thats a pretty scary figure.

Excluding certain skin cancers, there were more than 270,000 new cases of the disease in 2001 (in the UK) - and the rate is increasing by about 1% a year.

There are many forms of cancer, here are some of the most common ones

Bone Cancer
Brain Cancer
Breast Cancer
Endocrine Cancer
Gastrointestinal Cancer
Gynecologic Cancer
Head & Neck Cancer
Leukemia
Lung Cancer
Lymphoma
Multiple Myeloma
Prostate Cancer
Skin Cancer
Soft Tissue Sarcoma

Giving even a small amount will help fund the research into curing these forms of cancer. This could help you, your friends, your family and your future children and children's children.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Cancer Research UK will receive your money faster and, 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!

The jump is being paid by me in full, none of the money raised is going towards the jump! Please give whatever you can as even a tiny donation means alot and is better than nothing.

LOVE TO YOU ALL

Many thanks for your support.

Remember a berry is for life, not just for christmas!

(The jump will be taking place on the 11 April 2009)
