KAREN PICKETT's SKYDIVE FOR AvMA (2008) · 21 May 2008

AvMA is an independent charity providing free advice and support to patients & families affected by the trauma of a medical accident. With a national helpline, advice service and inquest support project. We also seek to improve patient safety and make systems for investigation and redress fairer.

Story

Well, after numerous letters to Jim'll Fix It as a child my dream has finally come true and I am doing a skydive!!  I am taking over from Karen who is no longer able to do the jump which was postponed from last year. Karen has already raised an impressive £345 and I want to add much more to this because it's all in aid of a fantastic charity, AvMA (see left for a description of the work they do).  I am very, very nervous and very, very excited.  The jump is on 31st May and I would be very grateful if you could sponsor me.  For everyone who has asked if I will be jumping with a parachute, take the number you were originally thinking of and double it!

Now for the science bit. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: AvMA will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you. 
 
Thank you for any donation you can make.

P.S. I also asked Jim'll Fix It if I could meet Paul Young.  If anyone would like to sponsor me for this, I can take separate donations.
