For the update on the day please visit my blog post: http://blog.sironaconsulting.com/sironasays/2008/07/mother-nature-t.html Thanks for visiting my Worthing Birdman Leukaemia Research fundraising page. What is the Worthing Birdman Competition? The Worthing Birdman Competition, takes place on the 5th & 6th July at Worthing Pier in Sussex. Previously known as the Bognor Birdman, it has had to switch to Worthing because of severe damage to their pier in recent storms. So why will I be launching myself of Worthing Pier for Leukaemia Research? In December last year, my brother David died from a rare form of Leukaemia. Even though the treatment he received was second to none, there was not enough knowledge of the particular strain that he was diagnosed with. I want to help raise money for Leukaemia Research so that they can try and find more cures for these different strains, to keep more people alive after diagnosis. In 8 months last year, David turned 40, was diagnosed with leukaemia, got married, saw his first son born, and passed away. I want other people to be luckier than David and see their children grow up, by helping Leukaemia Research find more cures. So what will I be doing ? A 6ft inflatable crocodile had been the source of much amusement between us over the last couple of years, so it seemed fitting that I should honour that memory and become Worthing's first flying Giant Crocodile!!! I can't guarantee to fly far, but I can say for sure that it will end up in it's natural habitat (water) very quickly!! Leukaemia is a horrible disease, and every £ | $ | euro collected will help someone live a little longer. So please sponsor me today to allow Leukaemia Research to save more lives. Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Leukaemia Research 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.
So please sponsor me now!
