Story

Hello all, welcome to my Just Giving page.

I've often thought about skydiving for charity, but I want it to be a real challenge so I've decided to do an accelerated freefall rather than tandum or static line!

The way I see it the more confronting the challenge the better, then you can all know how much I care for the cause and so forth!

I will be doing the jump just before my 21st in March 2013. So everyone please get on board, every little helps!

Thankyou for your donations... Let the count down begin!

Read below if you want to find out why I've chosen The Altzheimer's Society

my grandfather Ron Fowler, a pilot and adventurer, loved the skies. He also loved my grandmother Jean very much and after his death it soon became evident that she had dementia. For such a private woman the moments of clarity and realisation at her declining situation was demeaning and unsettling.

So I'm doing this for The Altzheimer's Society in memory of his love of all things at altitude and for the families who have to wait and watch their loved ones die bit by bit, memory by memory; becomming dependant and degraded.

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.
