Story

hi, everyone!

i'm doing a sponsored sky dive sometime in september in memory of Creag, a man i never met but spoke to regularly on the hibs and hearts message boards (he was a dirty jambo ). for those of you who didn't get the chance to speak to him, he was a passionate nationalist, loving father, wise beyond his years, kind, patient, caring and an over all great guy. tragically, he lost a battle with illness last month and past away at the age of 32.

he once said to me that you should always try to take something good from something bad (can't remember the exact quote, but he put it much more eloquently than me), and this is my effort to do just that.


i thought a parachute jump would be the most appropriate way of raising money, as this was one of the last things creag did before his death, somethign he had always wanted to do.


so...if you want to help me raise money in memory of creag (or just want to see me thrown out a plane!), now's your chance!!!


hopefully i won't die - my mum's convinced parachuting has a 99% mortality rate and is refusing to sponsor me haha


(p.s. trev - if something's wrong with my parachute, the police will be at your door)

(p.p.s - thanks very much to Jill for all the help!!!)

(p.p.p.s. - thanks to diggers bar in gorgie for organising a collection jar!)
