In a recent moment of madness I signed up to do a tandem skydive with the Red Devils, the Brith Army's Parachute Regiment display team. Weather permitting, this will take place on 27th June. This is a particularly silly idea as I'm scared of heights!

Anyway, I'm aiming to raise money for the company's chosen charity, The Sailors' Society, which provides welfare support for merchant seafarers on board ships and in port.

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.
