Thanks for taking the time to visit our online Sponsorship page.
On June the 26th of this year, myself, Craig Timmins and Vickie Cooper-Samios will be undertaking the Powerfan 31m Tree Plummet. This basically involves us climbing a massive tree. Like, really massive. It's 100ft high (31m). Once we get to the top, unfortunately there is only 1 way down... back down the ladder. Not really. We have to jump from the summit, in what is known as a parachute simulation dive.
We will be in complete freefall for around 3 seconds before being (hopefully) slowed down by Powerfan's pulley system. This is no mean feat. I am literally terrified of heights, as is atleast 1 other member of our team. Therefore any donation you can give us would be much appreciated. Our target is £300. If we don't reach this, we actually won't be allowed to participate, and i'd hate that to be the reason stopping us from taking part.
It's for a really good cause and will be a really great day out for all involved and anyone interested in coming to watch us plummet to our doom.
Thanks again for looking, and please remember that any little amount you can donate will benefit people far worse off. Please feel free to contact me if you would like any information.

Here's a little information on the Stroke Association:
Working for a world where there are fewer strokes and all those touched by stroke get the help they need
Every year an estimated 150,000 people in the UK have a stroke. Of all people who suffer from a stroke, about a third are likely to die within the first 10 days, about a third are likely to make a recovery within one month and about a third are likely to be left disabled and needing rehabilitation.
