My story

 

Oh WOW!!!   What an incredible experience.  Sitting on the edge of the open door of a tiny aircraft at 10,000 ft and then freefalling into a cushion of snowy white fluffy cottonwool balls at 120 mph is absolutely amazing!  The tranquility and beauty of parachuting over endless fields with panoramic views over Cheshire,  picking out the cities of LIverpool and  Chester in the far distance and floating effortlessly from upon high.  A rare privilege indeed.  

The best part of the whole experience was raising much-needed funds to provide vital, life-changing specialised equipment for sick and disabled children and young ppeople.  Big thanks to everyone who supported me - you make such a difference.

Thanks Hugh! Next time it's YOUR turn!!
