RAPS Solo Static-line parachute jump
Fundraising for Yorkshire Cancer Research
Story
Hi all,
** I jumped on 12th September as I'd hoped and the weather was glorious!.**. It was superb!. Amount raised is the on & offline amount total and I am now arranging for the charity to get the offline funds raised. A big thank you to all that sponsored me. Jump video & pictures are here
I'm seeking generous people for a sponsorship event!. I do have sponsorship forms, although I'm using those for people I know well and see often. This is simply additional sponsorship, which i hope gets some interest and will go straight to the charity I have chosen without a need by me to pester.
I have decided to do a RAMS Solo Static Line parachute jump in aid of Pancreatic Cancer. The jump is booked for the weekend of the19th September 2009 and will take place in Lancaster. I will undergo all training Saturday and jump the same day, or the following day weather permitting. If for any reason I can't jump, it'll be rescheduled but will go ahead for sure. I am determined.
There are some example videos online, like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8VkgRdXmAI which should give you an idea of what the event involves.
It's something I've wanted to do for a while and is in aid of a very worthy cause, so give all you can, especially as this is a SOLO jump and not one of those tandem thingy-me-bobs where qualified guys do all the work for you!. I will do it all on leaving that tiny plane some 3,500ft above Lancaster!.
If you want anymore details, ring me or mail me
Many thanks for your support!.
