            "THE MOTORCYCLE WALL OF DEATH"

      "I DID IT, I DID IT, I DID IT, I DID IT, I DID IT, I DID IT, I DID IT"

A warm welcome to everyone who visits my page, old visitors and new.

After being called "nutty Helen" and "questionably mad" by most of my friends and family, I decided to live upto my labels & grab 2008 by the proverbials and do something "impresive!".

Well I have lived up to my name and done it in style! 

On Sunday October 19th I was at the Staffordshire bike show with Ken Fox and his troupe having a heart stopping, teeth gritting, adrenaline pumping, true white knuckle of a ride on their famous 20ft high vertical wall of death. And it did not disappoint. It was the most amazingly thrilling, most astounding, most incredible and also fear filled and dangerous thing I have ever done. Nothing could have prepared me for my ride, no matter how much imagination was used before that fantastic day. The reality of it was something else.There are no words to truly express how I feel about my magical experience.

 I had 14 wonderful revolutions of that stunning wall and it was all over in a flash. Ken made my dream come true and it will stay with me in my memory and my heart for always.

So I must say a huge thank you to Ken Fox and his family for allowing me to do this. You are all to be admired for your skills and showmanship.

If you would like to take a peek at the Ken Fox troupe and their incredible wall of death then visit http://www.wall-of-death.co.uk/ and prepare to be amazed.

With so many lovely people digging into their pockets we have raised an amazing amount of money for WISHES 4 KIDS, and we have helped grant some very special wishes for 9 wonderful children.I would like to thank each and every one of you for your donations and support, but that would be impossible as so many people have given both on and off line.

It is still not too late to donate if you can spare some pennys and donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me. Wishes 4 kids will recieve your money faster and, if you are a uk tax payer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no extra cost to you. So don't forget to tick the "I am a tax payer" box!!

If you have any questions at all you can email me at www.helenwallofdeath@tiscali.co.uk .

I have no desire to do any thing else like this ever again. But then again I have been thinking. What about if I .....................................................only joking!

I am pleased to say I did not need an inco pad on the day afterall! But may get the tattoo soon!!!!!!!!!!

Happy wishes to you all.

A very happy and lucky Helen x x x
