Story

STOP PRESS - Training and hopefully the jump taking place on Friday 15th October.


STOP STOP PRESS - Only managed the training on Friday 15th October.  Wasn't allowed to do the jump due to cloud coverage.  Will hopefully get it done soon.....WATCH THIS SPACE

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Why I'm doing this - my company's charity is Children's Hospices UK who represent 41 Children's Hospices across the UK including one in Glasgow and one in Edinburgh.

Monies raised will go towards the dedicated care of children with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions who live in our community.

I think it is a very worthy cause and hope you do too.  I'm also getting to jump out of a plane at 10,000 feet (again) (I did a 10,000ft tandem a few years ago) so hopefully I can hold my nerve.  Failing that I'll need to ask for the big boot assist to get me out the plane.

The training and jump are to take place this Friday in Lincolnshire and I hope to be able to video myself and have a friend take some photos.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
