Hey guys - thanks for clicking onto the site. I understand how difficult it is to tear you away from your valuable time spent on Facebook but I thought I should let you know that I've decided to jump out of a plane and not because of the current state of the stock market.

As most of you probably know, it is coming up to two years since my Mum sadly passed away from ovarian cancer. My family subsequently set up the Elaine Hersheson Memorial Fund to help Ovarian Cancer Action's campaign for both research funding and awareness publicity for a disease that is the currently the fourth largest killer of women in the UK.

Though there is little Mum herself would have hated more than skydiving it would have made her very proud that her son and his friends did their bit to help increase the survival rate of so many women that suffer this terrible disease. So please dig as deep as you can and sponsor me online. 

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Ovarian cancer action 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.

Thanks so much for your support, Marc
