Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

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.

18th MAY 2010  Me.....Skydiving with the Red Devils.

OK......Firstly, I would like to thank the staff and trustees of the NGVFA for giving me the chance of fulfilling a lifetime ambition of scaring myself in a way that everyone should at some point in their lives LOL......Special thanks to Sarah Syddall......and extra super special thanks to her twin Michelle Foster (My 'rock' this last six months) for inspiring me to take the plunge. 'Shell is on one of my profile pics.....doing her plunge for charity! This jump is gonna see me doing a 13,000 ft drop over the lovely county of Wiltshire......I hope the ground is nice and soft!!!!!!!!!!!

Please, Please, PLEASE dig as deep as you can afford to help me make this not only a proud moment in my existance, but also a massive fund raising success story. If you donate online you will be helping some 'REAL HEROES'........Men and women that seem to have been forgotten about since they returned from active service in the Gulf. (and Afganistan) Also their families that really need help with a lot of the everyday things in life we take for granted. All the donations online will go to the NGVFA and then onto the people that this fine organisation endeavour to help!.....The good thing is..... none of the funds will 'leak' into 'the system' like other 'well known charity organisations' are letting happen!!!!

If you are unsure about an online donation....then contact me (07970611193) and i'll write your pledge on a sponsor form. These forms are for a dual purpose......As some of you know, I am the chairman of  the 'Life For A Kid Foundation' (LFKF) We raise funds to help children needing life saving/changing operations. Also helping provide equipment to give kids a better lifestyle. (The money raised via the sponsor forms will be shared between the NGVFA and LFKF equally.) Life For A Kid also run the GB Allstars Rugby League team......A team of ex pro's that give their time freely to raise funding by putting their bodies back on the pitch to play games against teams made from people that have been sponsored to play against their own heroes!!! We have players like Garry Schofield, Tommy Martyn, Paul Newlove, Graham Steadman, Garry Connolly, Steve Hampson, Ikram Butt and 'Chico' Jackson. Plus many others in an ever growing 'pool' of legends.

Thank you for reading this far
