Hello All,

As you may have heard, I've taken three months out to explore the other side of the planet, catch up with old friends and meet lots of new ones. During my travels I will be passing through the extreme sports capital of Earth - New Zealand.

Contrary to popular belief... I'm a tad scared of these kind of activities. I have previously tried to bungee jump on a number of occasions but made my excuses every time, and as much as everyone who's actually done a skydive tells me how amazin they are - the idea of throwning myself out of a plane for fun doesn't make sense to me. However... (and i quote world famous news reader Ron Burgundy...) 'when in Rome'...

In order to make this trauma worthwhile I have decided that i want to do an extreme sport in aid of a worthy charity and for a large number of reasons I have chosen the MS society. So here's the plan:

I have set my target as 400UKP. If you choose to donate, please make a note on the donations page of which extreme sport or challenge you would like me to undertake. It can be anything legal. If I reach this target, i will do what the largest number of people have suggested I do. However if I don't make this target, to honour those who have donated, I get to choose the one that scares me the least.

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.
