My story

Well you can't change the weather!! After a rainy week I was delighted to wake up (a touch nervous) in St. Andrews to see not a single cloud in the sky, a beautiful day. Unfortunately there is a 20 kt wind limit for tandem jumps and it was 25kts all morning and expected to pick up in the afternoon. I hung round for a few hours but there was no chance of jumping today. Hopefully get it done in the next fortnight.

Thanks again to the support both financial and moral!!!

A short update to add that so far I have raised offline

£300 from pilots

£250 so far from engineers (who think I'm crazy!!)

£125 from drunk people in the pub! Thanks guys!

£100 from Mike's colleagues on DSV Bourbon Pearl.

£6 from Daniel doing odd jobs for charity instead of pocket money which I think is very lovely :-)

Thanks Everyone

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Last week the young daughter of my lifelong friend was diagnosed with leukaemia and admitted to Aberdeen Royal Children's Hospital. Nicky, Sean and young Holly will be living there for the next six months. I thought the least I could do, in addition to my domestic goddess cooking rations, was raise a few pennies for ARCHIE (Aberdeen Royal Children's Hospital Is Excellent).

Aberdeen Royal Children's Hospital has helped some other friend's kids as well and I know the excellent facilities have made these difficult times easier.

I'm not as crazy as some other friends who use justgiving so won't be doing 7 off-road marathons or an ironman triathlon but want to raise money by doing a sponsored skydive. Please be assured that EVERY penny will go to charity as I am paying for the skydive myself and jumping at the same time as other ARCHIE's fundraisers.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
