Story

20.03.2009

Yesterday I finally walked amongst the clouds, and in the words of the much revered Mylie Cyrus, it was "  FRICKin awesome"!!!

If I had the money I would have been back up there again today. I will definitely be doing it again, I just won't be telling my mum this time!

Big thanks to all at the North London Parachute Centre for the great experience: Steve for the cracking pictures, Chris for the banter, but mostly Bryn for making a fantastic experience more amazing than I could have hoped for.

Check out the pictures at http://ukskydiving.com/myskydive/ ref BLXBHTY. My face on the first picture out of the plane shows the exact extent of my terror - but after that I couldn't wipe the stupid grin from my face! The truly amazing cloud front in the pictures is something not many people are lucky enough to see, but I was there baby!!

Thanks to you all for your generosity, what lovely people you are!

========================================================

Sponsor me now, I may not be around for much longer!!

Seriously, the more money donated, the less likely I am to poke my nose out of the plane and say " Erm, I am sure I am supposed to be somewhere....."

Moorfields is an incredible hospital with incredible staff. If you could see the children that the hospital care for, their optimism in the face of misfortune and the dedication with which they are cared for, you would know that this is a charity that really deserves your donations.

I am funding my jump, so all donations will go to Moorfields.

Every little helps, and all is very gratefully received.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Moorfields Eye Hospital Development Fund 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!
