Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In July I'll be taking one brave (or rather stupid!) step... out of a plane, high up in the sky!  That's right... a solo (i.e. not tandem) skydive from 12,000 feet which my lovely wife has bought for me as a gift.  It's a challenge that I've wanted to undertake for sometime now - and at the same time raise some money for an extremely worthwhile charity.

I've chosen the Rett Syndrome Research Trust UK (http://www.reverserett.org.uk) which sets out to raise funds for scientific research of what may well be the first reversible brain disorder.  

I know that many of you will not have heard about Rett before, so please visit the Rett Syndrome Research Trust UK website and learn a little about the trust and also this very sad and progressively debilitating condition - then please act by supporting the cause via my sponsored solo skydive event.

As mentioned earlier, my wife has sponsored the cost of the dive; meaning that every penny that you donate will go directly to Rett Syndrome Research Trust UK. 

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 the charity.

Appreciate the help folks... thanks much!
