My story

 

Well, we did it....

Yes 13 of the 25 went up in the air today and all came back down safely.

It was an exhilarating feeling, wracked by anxiety, but ultimately breathtakingly brilliant.

Thank you so much to everyone who has sponsored me and offered words of encouragement.

I have updated my blog so you can read the whole story which is too long to post here. Please click on the link to read about how it went.

Thanks

Just click here http://www.blogstoday.co.uk/bloghome.aspx?username=crazyidea to find out why I have loads more reasons to fear the big day!

 

I have now gone through £750, which is amazing.

Those who have given offline include: Sheila and Peter, Peter and Jo, Anne, Denise, Rachel, Neil, David, Jill, Alison, Jan, Kit, Sally, Sarah, Janet, Anne, Adie, Simon, Andy, Karen and Lynne , Catherine - thanks to them.

Thanks again and read on...

If you've made it this far, I'm hoping you're prepared to part with some money. This is why I want you to do it...

Those who know me, will know the impending sense of fear and dread I will experience as the moment approaches when I have to throw myself out of an airplane for charity.

Those who don't know me that well, let me explain. Taking off in a plane makes me immerse myself in a book, clutch the arm of the seat and think of anything else but the fact tons of metal are about to take off into thin air and fly. In addition, the thought of looking down from any height and not being able to put my foot on the ground fills me with a sense of extreme dread.

So if I'm prepared to throw myself out of an airplane at 13,000 feet, the cause has got to be worth it.

It'll be only worthwhile if I hit my fudraising target. Please support it.
