Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My name is Jeff Coxon and I am taking part in a tandem jump from 10,000ft at Peterlee Parachute Centre as part my efforts to raise funds for the Grace House North East Children's Hospice Appeal.

I am 66-years-old,  I’m wheelchair-bound, an amputee and I’ve lost one of my fingers, I suffer from angina and rheumatoid arthritis, but I’ve got permission from my GP to take part in a skydive. I want to spend my days raising money for Grace House. I have already donated £5,000 to the cause thanks to collections and donations.

I want to be able to do something useful and this is such a good charity.

My parachute jump will take place on the 1st April 2011.
