Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

There is no doubt that our Service men and women time and time again demonstrate their courage and bravery when serving their country in places such as Iraq and Afghanistan. They deserve our full support, indeed, some make the ultimate sacrifice with their lives and there are untold amounts of men and women who suffer through their injuries, injuries incurred whilst serving their country.

It is these brave men and women who have inspired us to raise as many funds as we can by partaking in a sponsored parachute jump from 13,000 ft over Netheravon in Wiltshire in June 2010. The 4 student parachutists, Paul, Steve ,Paul and Woody will be taught by their colleague, Jim, to skydive. This is no easy feat, it's a challenge in itself, as anyone who has done it will tell you. Hopefully, by going that 'extra mile,' we'll encourage you to do the same and donate towards Help for Heroes.

UPDATE 13/06/10

They did it! On Saturday evening, Paul Whitlock, Steve Pickering and Woody Woodcock all completed their first AFF jump over Netheravon. Well done fella's, enjoy the photo's. 

**Due to work comittments, I've had to reschedule the training and jumps to the weekend of 12/13th June. Apoligies to anyone who was planning to be there over the original dates. This has been unavoidable**

**I've been overwhelmed by peoples generousity so far - thank you very much. On the weekend of 15/16 May, the fundraisers will be doing their training followed by their jumps at Netheravon. The Army Parachute Association (APA) have agreed to help further by putting £0.50 on the price of a pint on the weekend and to have a BBQ on the Saturday evening where the profits will go to H4H. If you want to attend, then please come along and show your support.**
