Dear Friends,

In an unguarded moment, in public, I expressed an interest in taking part in a sponsored parachute jump to raise money for Age Concern Norfolk .On further reflection I hoped that my bravado would be forgotten and I could slip away unnoticed. However I was introduced to an octagenarian fellow jumper who told me that she had so enjoyed her last sky dive that she just had to go again. No escape....hoist and petard!

The money raised will be donated to the Advocacy service at Age Concern Norfolk which provides independent advocates to support older people to assert their rights.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Please dig deeply into your wallets. I promise that your generosity - or lack of it - will be remembered for a very long time. Thank you.

Peter
