Why the hell have i done this?
Well i've always wanted to skydive and now the opportunity has arisen for me to raise money for an amazing cause as well as tick off another 'bucket list' entry. Fear not dear freinds, your generousity will ALL go to the charity as im funding the jump myself.
So why this charity?
The other day i had the honour of meeting some of the UK paralympic ski team and their stories were both fascinating and inspiring. One comment above all stuck in my mind :
"the first time i went up the mountain on the chairlift, I looked back at the wheelchair I had left behind and realised that i was leaving my disability behind with it. Skiing restores my freedom, independance and most of all, my ABILITY!"
I know i take my mobility for granted and i know what a shock it would be to have it taken from me. The magic of snowsports lies in its ability to restore mobility to those who have lost it, and grant it to those who have never experienced it.
Thanks for taking the time to visit and for your donation.
Fond regards
Larry.
