Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="color: #ff6600;">Long story short, I'm going skydiving! It's called <strong>The Great Warwick Jump 2011.</strong>&nbsp;It happens every year and is aimed at raising money for charity.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Having not done much charity work in the past, I thought this was the perfect opportunity to choose a trust close to mine and my family's heart, <span style="color: #800080;"><strong>Cancer Research UK.</strong></span> I'm sure you've all heard of it, and its goal is simple...to help prevent, treat and eventually CURE CANCER.</p> <p>To read more, visit&nbsp;<a href="http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/" target="_blank">http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;">The big day's <strong>12th March 2011...</strong></span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;">After going up to an airfield in North Lincolnshire...</span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;">...and just 30 minutes of training from an instructor...</span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;">...we fly up to <strong>12,500 feet</strong>...</span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;">...and go for it!</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="color: #008000;">The free-fall lasts for 45 seconds, after which the parachute's opened to help us gently PLUMMET 5 minutes to the ground! =]</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><a style="outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 14px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; color: #2a42c6; text-decoration: underline; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;" title="The Great Warwick Jump 2010" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SR7gQZs56wY" target="_blank">Check here to see last year's Warwick Jump!</a></span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Clearly I'm not one to be scared of heights, and many of you might even find what I'm doing a bit dangerous, but being a first time skydiver, it'll be a <strong>tandem skydive</strong> that I perform, which means I'll be strapped to a professional from all the way, til my feet are safely on the ground.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><em>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Gift Aid is also reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.</em></p> <p><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Thanks for your time (and donations!)</strong></span></p>
