I am a mum of 3 boys and a girl ranging from 17 to 8. For the last 17 years I have brought up my kids and worked hard, never managing to save any money, but keeping our heads above water! Recently my husband arranged for me to have a tandem paragliding flight, I was ridiculously nervous! Long strory short....I fell in love with it.

Here in the uk there aren't many female paragliders.

With your help, I pledge to learn and get my licence then I will pledge to get as good as i can, I will set up a blog to show everyone my advances.

As soon as I am proficient enough I will use my new skill to raise money for Cancer research and local children's charities.

This is a long haul project, but once I'm off the ground (excuse the pun!) I will do my best to raise as much £££££s as possible for local charities......the sky's the limits!!!!
