Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>I'm raising money for Cancer Recovery Foundation UK, a cause that's very close to my heart &amp; also to my family &amp; friends hearts, having lost several members of family &amp; close friends to this cruel disease &amp; having others currently suffering, hopefully going on to recover. I've always wanted to do a parachute jump &amp; if I can raise some money for a good cause whilst I'm at it all the better !!!</p> <p>The jump is planned for 12th February 2012, but I have another challenge before then - the weight limit is 15 stone &amp; I weighed in at 16 stone 10 lbs on 30th November when I booked the jump. I'll keep you up to date on the weight loss here, as the target to keep on track is about 3lb a week ;</p> <p>Right, it's Jump 'Eve !!!! Just weighed in &amp; I'm afraid I've missed my target :((((( I'm only at 15stone 3lb. However, since I started this campaign the airfield have revised their weight limit to 16 stone so I will still be jumping :)))))&nbsp; The reason I missed the weight is due to having to follow a strict diet for the last 2 weeks to lower my blood pressure - otherwise the doctor would have refused to sign my consent form, so I couldn't continue with my previous "fat-burning" diet. BUT, IF anyone feels cheated, that I haven't done exactly what I was sponsored to do - let me know &amp; I'll listen intently.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails.</p> <p>Once you donate, they&rsquo;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&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
