Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am planning a tandem paragliding flight from near the summit of Skiddaw with Jocky Sanderson. This will  be using a wheelchair. I'm hoping to use  an all terrain wheelchair to get to the summit. This may not be possible depending on the progress of my MND. I may need other people to assist getting me up the mountain. The idea is to get to the summit on a day that will be suitable to fly down. Skiddaw has been chosen because it is a fairly accessible hill and it can be flown from in several different wind directions it is also the view from my house. The day and time will be dependent on the weather and Jocky Sandersons other commitments. Hopefully there will be a few other paragliding pilots joining us. The aim is to raise awareness of Motor Neurone Disease and hopefully raise some money for the MND Association. It will obviously be a good opportunity for me to enjoy a paragliding flight. All money raised will go to MND. I apologise for the poor punctuation etc but I have had to type this using my new head mouse. Tony Thompson.
