My story

 

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

UPDATE 3rd April

Jump completed 18.30. after waiting all day for the weather to clear, log on to http://ukskydiving.com/myskydive/BNLLTGL for pics. Thanks to everyone especially instructor Gary at North London Parachute Centre

UPDATE 1st April

I now plan to do the jump on Friday 3rd April. The weather looks favourable so keep your fingers crossed.

UPDATE 26th March

Total frustration, 150 miles round trip, called off due to weather again, now we go on standby, watching for a suitable weather window, rescheduled date T.B.A.

UPDATE 16TH March

The jump has been rescheduled for Thursday 26th March

UPDATE 14th March

Unfortunately due to adverse weather conditions (20mph winds with gusts to 35mph) we were unable to jump today. The jump will be rescheduled at the ealiest oppourtunity.

Fundraising Project

I must be mad or having a late life crisis but on 14th March 2009 I am taking part in a sponsored 10000ft freefall skydive on behalf of St Clare Hospice in Harlow. Its a twofold task as to take part I first have to get down to less than 15 stone!!!!,  and then overcome my fear of heights to make the jump.  Please think of me on the 14th and give as much as you can to sponsor me for this very deserving cause.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: St Clare West Essex Hospice Care Trust gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!
