I always said I would do a skydive before I turned 40 - well the clock is definitely ticking ... so here goes!

On 25 August I'm doing a 15,000ft skydive, the highest possible tandem jump altitude in the UK, and raising funds for two charities I am involved with, both in the role of treasurer.

Draycott & Rodney Stoke First School PTA (where my daughter Ariane attends) is raising funds to develop a new playground and outdoor learning area. We are a small school so every penny helps when we expect costs to be c. £15,000.

Bristol Cathedral Trust is embarking on a once in a generation refurbishment of the historic organ, a £2m project, as many parts no longer work and it breaks down on a regular basis. This building and its music has special meaning to me as Dave and I were married there 5 years ago.

Thank you for any support you are able to give.

Draycott & Rodney Stoke PTAF (charity # 1108678)
Bristol Cathedral Trust (charity # 801008)

PS: did I happen to mention I'm frightened of vertical drops!
