Hello Friends, Family and All Supporters of 'The Cause!'

YES, I'm agreeing to jump out of a plane, at 10,000ft, in lovely St Andrews on Saturday 4th October 2008 in aid of Scottish Charity, Visibility.

Hang on a minute, I can see the double takes now "Colin, aren't you afraid of flying, mate?"  Well in a word, yes!  You see I have a lovely wife, who co-ordinates social and recreational activities for blind and visually impaired people, who has co-ordinated me quite nicely into this suicide mission, erm I mean fundraising event!

 "I'll organise everything, all you have to do is jump" says she, so here I am, less than a month later, all booked up, face on the internet (head on the block!) contemplating falling at over 120mph for 5,000ft, before the 'chute opens and I drift gracefully to the ground.  Or so the brochure says, hmmm...

Go on then, clickety click on the 'donate now' button (little blue one above this box) and get a rush of all those feel good endorphins that everyone loves so much!  Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Visibility 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 dig deep and pledge your support to the brilliant staff and the services they work really hard to provide for blind and visually impaired people - and you never know, I MIGHT even get over my fear of flying!

Thanks for taking the time to support me.

Colin Thomson
