I have had Sjogren's Syndrome for nearly 50 years and it is getting worse ( like most things do as you age ) believe me everything is dry! BSSA is a small charity with few overheads so most of your money will go to supporting sufferers, especially important for the newly diagnosed and funding research into treatments.

I have decided that throwing myself out of an airplane is a good idea to raise money for BSSA. Although when I'm over 10,000 feet and hurtling to the ground at 120mph with only a piece of cloth between me and death (well if you don't count the expert to pull the cord. ) I can't rely on me to remember to as Sjogren's also affects your memory ( or is that just an excuse for me being an idiot ? ) I might just change my mind. It's got to be easier than a marathon surely ! Definitely, if I emerge unscathed. I'll report back on that after the event, if I survive. 

I've only gone and done it! I survived intact without even a blister so definitely easier than a marathon. I wasn't too keen on freefall as breathing in 120 mph gale was difficult. After the canopy opened I was either shouting for god, mum or laughing! I haven't had that much adrenaline in many a year. It was a beautiful day with lovely views over Northamptonshire including Silverstone Circuit. Stuart gently deposited us on the ground without the slightest bump. I had a great deal of trouble walking I was very wobbly!
