I'm a stay at home mum who normally stays at home!  Two things have changed that.

1) I am involved in a brilliant organisation called Deafax.  Deafax is a national charity which uses training and new technology to empower deaf children and adults.  I have met people whose lives and futures have been transformed as a result of this vital work.

2) I have always secretly wanted to jump out of a plane! 

So on Sat 13 March I took part in a sponsored skydive for Deafax.  I jumped out of a plane at 10,000 ft, strapped to an instructor, and endured 40 seconds of crazy, terrifying, sickening and exhilarating freefall before floating to earth under a pink parachute, enjoying beautiful views of the Oxfordshire countryside.... 

IT WAS A FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE!  LOOK AT THE PHOTO ABOVE AND CLICK 'Photos' underneath it to see more.  If you've donated already - THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!  For everyone else, read on....

My original target was £200 in sponsorship for Deafax.  Now I'm hoping to hit £500 - can you help?  I am covering the actual cost of my dive myself (through babysitting earnings) so 100% of your donation will go to Deafax. 

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 Deafax.  Alternatively, you can send a cheque made payable to 'Deafax' to me at my home address.
