Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

On September 19th 2008 i have decided to skydive 13,000 ft in the name of charity. I aim to raise as much money as i can and in order to this i have decided to surpass all other charity fund raising ideas and participate in this crazy idea.

The skydive will take place at Chatteris Airfield in Cambridgeshire and will be videoed and photographed and proof provided to all those who sponsor. The jump will be from a plane at approximately 13,000 and i wil spend 45 seconds in freefall (For those who need an idea of how long that i set a timer for 45 seconds and walk around your house..........it's a lot longer than you'd think!) and fall at approximately 130 mph. The charity is a very good cause and the reason that i agreed to jump from a plane from the height the equivalent of 17 canary wharf towers.

Please people dig deep but if you can't dig deep then i say if you can't give a lot then please give a little. Every pound raised is a massive bonus. I aim to raise as much as i possibly can so if you can forward this to anyone you may know then i am extremely grateful.

I will keep you all updated and if you want to ask any questions then email me chrispjwalsh@hotmail.com or facebook me.
