Story

Hi All,Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Oh my oh my........it was totally an amazing, phenomenal experience.....definitely an out of this world feeling....was so chilled out before and after the jump and I'd do it again and especially for a great cause.....the hardest thing of it all for me was when I jumped and the thought that went through my head of why I did this, I had tears in my eyes....for 'our precious son'.........I really do miss my dearest 1st son Mikhil loads.....Thanks to all the lovely people that came and waited especially as there was a delay due to air traffic from the grand prix and all the private jets......but for us the wait was well worth it and we made them proud and the applause and cheers from them afterwards was so lovely, it felt like something out of Top Gun, but without Tom Cruise, but the instructors and cameramen made up for that!!

**************************************************************************

It's been a sudden thing, but something I've always wanted to do and an opportunity has come up to do a sky dive with a dear friend Priti Kamal and a few of her friends......The skydive will take place on Sunday 30th June 2013, 11am, weather permitting, at London Parachute School, Chiltern Park Aerodrome, Icknield Road, Ipsden, Wallingford, Oxon, OX10 6AS.....Priti and her friends raised money for children in Africa, but donations for that are closed as the skydive was originally planned for March 2013, but due to weather it has been postponed a few times.

Therefore, on this occasion I've decided to continue to raise money for GBSS as 25th June would have been Mikhil Rajesh Amba's 12th Birthday and the skydive will mark this occasion in memory of 'our precious son' who we sadly lost in our arms on 13 July 2001 to group b strep infection (gbs)/sceptecimia.  If you do not know what gbs is please visit www.gbss.org.uk

You're welcome to come and watch me fall from the sky!!

10 years in July 2001, we lost 'our precious son' Mikhil Rajesh Amba to the life threatening infection Group B Strep (GBS).  In our precious son's memory, we'd like you to donate to a worthy cause and help GBSS raise awareness of this infection to others and to help stop others' go through what we went through losing Mikhil.

We celebrated Raj's Big Birthday on Saturday 15th January 2011 at Hilton Watford and took the opportunity to raise money for GBSS. The night was dedicated in memory of our precious son.  Raj asked for donations instead of gifts and additionally we held a raffle (Aston Martin Car experience-generously donated by Has and Dhiraj) and an auction (All expenses date with Raj). Suresh (Comms) donated extremely generously towards both! THANKS TO ALL........

The whole Bash was absolutely fantastic and Hilton Watford rocked! Thanks to everyone who made it a special night and we missed those that could not be there....THANK YOU all for your donations.....

A reputable financial instituition in the City kindly agreed to donate, £500.

GBSS asked us to write an article for their newsletter, which we did and it was published in early 2013.
