*****UPDATES AT BOTTOM OF PAGE*****
Hi Ya,

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

Just to let you know what's happening, I've decided to do a sponsored shark dive for a charity called DeafBlind .

In case you don't know, Deafblind is a national charity that offers tons of services and support to people with combined sight and hearing loss, no matter their age or situation.

So, that's the charity and I'm doing a dive, what else do you need to know... Oh yeah! I can't swim!!!

And just to fill in the picture for you all a little more, the event takes place in a sealife centre somewhere and when I asked if these things ever go wrong, they refused to answer!

From what I could gather, most people who do it can swim but apparently they can't see it being a major problem as we will need to be near the bottom of the tank anyway!

Also, just to add to the not being able to swim thing, I hate fish... Even the little guppies my mum has, completely freak me out.

Then to make things worse when I went to see my doctor to see if I was healthy enough to do this dive she just laughed as she signed me off, wished me good luck and said "Let's hope you don't have to try and escape anything cause you might not make it!!!"

Hhhmmm... Just writing this is making me kack myself so I'm refusing to research into it anymore in case I freak out too much!

I'm not sure what kind of training to do... I'm currently practicing my floating technique in the bath, I'm thinking worst case, I can just float to the top and hope someone scoops me out or something...

So, if you're a friend of mine and you like me, please sponsor me so I can do something good for the charity Deaf Blind UK.

And, if you don't like me, why not sponsor me anyway as the money will go to a fantastic charity and on the positive side if I don’t drown I could get eaten alive!

It's a win win situation really...

So, please dig deep and sponsor me online.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Deafblind 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.
So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support, big love...

Imran

***UPDATE*** 1/6/08
Hi All,

My Shark dive date has been moved! The place doing the dive has had to move the date, but unfortunately the date they gave me I can't make so the only option was to not do it or do it on my own... And I'm sure you know which one I decided to do!

However my "friends" have decided it would be a great idea if I went solo.

So here I sit waiting for a solo shark dive...

The new date is Saturday the 23rd of August!!!
