Would you pay good money to have me throw myself out of a plane?
You may be reassured (or indeed disappointed) to know that I will in fact be attached to a parachute (rather than chained to an anvil). Actually, I will attached to another parachutist (a professional instructor)... apparently the jump is called a 'tandem skydive', and we will be jumping at 10,000 feet and free falling at 120mph!
I will be doing this on the 23rd August 2008 (moved forward from 26th July baecause the army needed to use the base) for the International Medical Corps (UK) which is a totally brilliant charity working in humanitarian crises worldwide (for example, Darfur, Chad, Iraq, Sierra Leone). I aim to raise (hopefully) £500. It's really worthy cause and I'm sure you've seen from the TV, so please dig deep and give...
Just so you know, donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It's also the most efficient way to sponsor me: International Medical Corps (UK) gets your money faster and, if you're a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
I would be so grateful. And I've already packed spare underwear. So please sponsor me now!
