Hi, thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

My dad was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease in March last year. MND is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that attacks the upper and lower motor neurones and leads to weakness and wasting of muscles, causing increasing loss of mobility in the limbs, and difficulties with speech, swallowing and breathing. There is currently no cure and average life expectancy is less than 5 years from first symptoms.

To show how much my dad means to me and just how much I want to do something to help, I have decided to confront two of my worst fears:  flying and heights, and have signed up to do a charity sky dive after my 16th birthday this summer.  I hope to raise money to help fund research in the hope that in the future other families will not have to cope with the effects of this terrible illness.

So please would you kindly sponsor me, any amount would be gratefully received. Thank you very much.
