Story

 We've done it !!?!!  Thank you to everyone who took the challenge with me or supported me through sponsorship.  

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.  It is still open for donations!!!

 What's the point in doing something if it isn't a challenge?

 Well, thats my whole life, so I'm leaping off the edge of the Avon Gorge to liven it up! Oh, and to raise money for the M.S Society.

 For anyone reading this who doesn't know me, I've had M.S over 20 years now, already physically challenged and now officially mad! 
A whole group of my friends and family are supporting me by doing it with me - You're all fantastic and madder than I am!!

We are trying to raise £3000 pounds collectively for research - towards a cure for M.S.  (Everyones sponsorship collections will be put together and the end total will show on this page as we are going for an M.S Mega Star Challenge!!)

 So , all those of you who managed to escape joining us, feel bad and dig deep into your pockets and sponsor me along with my other willing volunteers to Abseil down the Avon Gorge, Bristol on the 17th May 2009. (APPARENTLY IN THE RAIN!)

Thank you to everyone x

Well here's an update , picking what seemed like the worst day of the year so far!  A day of wind, and continual terrential rain here we all were dressed in our orange M.S T- shirts making our way one at a time down the cliff face of the Avon Gorge, if you managed to get down in between a break in the rain you were lucky or extremely fast!  But we did it and got very,very wet!

I cant express how very proud and glad I am to have such friends, you endured the worst conditions to support me, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Evidence enough that you are all madder than I am!!!!!!

My page is now closed ...... until the next event?
