I am fast approaching my 80th Birthday in January.

With this in mind I have decided to complete a parachute jump, having met an ex soldier who parachuted into Germany in the Second World War. He has given me the inspiration to find out whether I have the inner strength to complete the jump, although this would only represent a fraction of the strength and courage displayed by all young men that have defended Queen and Country.

I would like to take advantage of the occasion and hopefully raise some money for a charity close to my heart - Cancer Research

I like many others have witnessed the impact this disease has on loved ones.

I shall be making the jump from a small airfield near Lancaster with the Black Knights parachute team on or before the 17th October 2016.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
