Hello you lovely potential sponsor you,

On Saturday May 3rd 2008, (assuming I raise £500) I shall be hurling myself out of a plane at 15,000 feet, bringing me that little bit closer to actually being James Bond (FACT). I'm doing it for the Kids Count Trust, official charity of Radio Aire.

If --by some fluke-- I manage to raise £1,007 or over, however, I shall jump out of that plane in a dinner suit, in an attempt to emulate the sheer panache of consummate legend Sir Roger Moore.

In an ideal world I'd do it in a luminous yellow ski suit and float to terra firma in a Union Jack parachute to the brassy fanfare of the Bond theme, but you can't have everything in life.

Please, please give generously folks. After all, you are in with a chance that I may fall to my death if you're very lucky. How can you put a price on that?
