Hi there, Danielle Lloyd here - on Wednesday 29th August me and my Mum, Jackie, took part in a tandem parachute jump with the Red Devils display team to raise funds for DebRA, the national charity working on behalf of families in the UK affected by the genetic skin blistering condition Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB).
Now I've done quite a few daring things in my time as a model and TV presenter, but this was a huge challenge for me as I'm absolutely petrified of heights. So, naturally I was delighted (and relieved) to be in the safe hands of the expert Red Devils team on the day. As for the jump itself, what can I say - it was a truly phenomenal experience!!
I decided to undertake this challenge to raise funds for DEBRA after visiting some children with EB atGreatOrmondStreetHospital last year. They are some of the bravest children I have ever met.
DebRA relies on fundraising events like this to carry out its vital work, improving lives and giving hope to families living with this devastating skin condition. Your donations will make a real difference.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: DebRA will receive your money faster and, if you are a taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
I'll update my website page soon and hopefully you'll all be able to see the 'before and after' shots in the Daily Star on Thursday or Friday.
Many thanks for your support and I hope you dig deep and and sponsor me online.
Love Danielle x
