Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.


At the end of May I will be jumping out of a plane and doing a sky dive all in aid of raising money for the Great Western Air Ambulance. I will be paying for the sky dive myself and your money will be going directly towards the Great Western Air Ambulance.


So why should you sponsor me?


Well.. for those of you that don't already know I have a fear of heights and a fear of falling! I've always said that not for a million pounds would I ever do anything like this... but when I was asked if I would do this I realised that I could potentially raise a lot of money for a really good cause. For those of my friends and family who have had to put up with my fear will know that this is a really big deal for me and not something that I would choose to do lightly. Here are a few examples of why I wouldn't do this if it wasn't for a good cause...

1. The time I helped my Dad clean our attic and got stuck up there for 2 hours because I couldn't get down!
2. The time I had to be resuced by a ski instructor on the side of a nursery ski slope as I didn't like going down the slope too fast!
3. The 'romantic' ride on a big wheel a few christmas's ago that turned out to be one of the most tramatising dates ever!


I know what will happen... I will get up there and have a fissy fit on the plane... there will most likely be tears and a lot screaming... so I have decided that I will buy a video of my jump and ANY ONE WHO SPONSORS ME OVER £10 WILL GET TO SEE THE VIDEO OF ME SKYDIVING! IT WILL BE A MASSIVE LAUGH AT MY EXPENSE AND WILL BE DEFINATELY WORTH £10!

So please dig deep and remember its for a good cause and you'll get a good laugh!
