Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
As many of you will know, and some may not, my Dad suffered a serious spinal injury falling from his horse in September 2009. Since then he has been at the Queen Elizabeth Spinal Injuries Unit in Glasgow. Every time I go I am overwhelmed by all of the amazing and courageous people who everyday are faced with climbing their own personal Everest in order to complete their rehab. Their dedication and courage and positive attitudes are truly humbling.

Therefore, I have decided to raise money for Spinal Research by doing a Skydive. I will do this next week in Queenstown, New Zealand. Anyone who knows me well will know that I am very scared of heights. Having to jump off a large wall would make me weak at the knees. So I have come to the conclusion that this is my Everest.
So, if you donate- I shall jump!
Thank you on behalf of myself and all of those that Spinal Research will help in the future!
