Story

<p>Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>In July I'll be taking one brave (or rather stupid!) step... out of a plane, high up in the sky! &nbsp;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. &nbsp;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.</p> <p>I've chosen the Rett Syndrome Research Trust UK (<a title="http://www.reverserett.org.uk" href="http://www.reverserett.org.uk/" target="_blank">http://www.reverserett.org.uk</a>) which sets out to raise funds for scientific research of what may well be the first reversible brain disorder. &nbsp;</p> <p>I know that many of you will not have heard&nbsp;<a title="about Rett" href="http://www.reverserett.org.uk/rett-syndrome" target="_blank">about Rett</a>&nbsp;before, so please visit the&nbsp;Rett Syndrome Research Trust UK&nbsp;website&nbsp;and learn a little about the <a title="Rett Syndrome Research Trust UK" href="http://www.reverserett.org.uk/about-us" target="_blank">trust</a> and also this very sad and progressively&nbsp;<a title="About Rett Syndrome" href="http://www.reverserett.org.uk/rett-syndrome" target="_blank">debilitating condition</a> - then please act by supporting the cause via my sponsored solo skydive event.</p> <p>As mentioned earlier, my wife has sponsored the cost of the dive; meaning that every penny that you donate will go directly to&nbsp;Rett Syndrome Research Trust UK.&nbsp;</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;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&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>Appreciate the help folks... thanks much!&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
