Story

UPDATE 11/09/08 - AFTER TWO FAILED ATTEMPTS DUE TO THE WEATHER, ONE RAIN AND ONE WIND ATTEMPT NO.3 TOOK PLACE ON WEDNESDAY 10/09/08. ABSOLUTELY AWESOME - THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT x

Hello and thanks for visiting my online sponsorship form. The original plan was Chris Woods, Peter Franklin and myself (from Business Solutions - Relationship Management) were going to hurl ourselves out of a plane to support one of our 3 nominated charities.  Unfortunately Chris & Peter have had to postpone (?) until the Spring so I am going solo!!!

On Sunday 31st August, I am jumping out of a plane at 10,000 feet!  After an amazing freefall at 120mph, my expert (hopefully) buddy will pull the chute so that we can land safely.

Many of you will know that Chris's wife Claire was cared for and died in St. Luke's. Although there for just 48 hours out of a 39 year life, the impact St. Luke's had on the sum of her life went far far beyond that, both for Claire and the family.

The care she received in that time was astonishing and nothing short of life changing. The team they had the privilege to meet were and are inspirational.

Please support this great cause.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: St Luke's Hospice (Sheffield) 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.
