My personal message:

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

I have now hurled myself from an aeroplane on the 20th July to raise funds for the Benevolent - I'm the Chairman this year so I didn't have much choice!  But having terrified myself witless it will help a lot to be raising lots of money for this wonderful charity - so please be generous!

It was a 2 mile drop - 3,520 yards or 10,560 feet! I've almost raised a pound a foot - it would be great to get slightly more. Dig deep - I promise you that I won't be doing it again!

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Wine And Spirit Trades Benevolent Society gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!
