At Hinton Airfield, ready to go! Thank you to everyone who's sponsored me and donated to Mind :) x

On Saturday 19th May 2012, I'll be making a 10,000ft freefall skydive near Oxford to raise funds for Mind - the mental health charity.

As some of you will know, I have had my own battles with depression and there have been times when I don't know what I would have done without the support of national health services and mental health charities. This is my way of saying thank you to Mind for the work they are doing to break through the stigma attached to mental health issues. 

Mind is the leading mental health charity in England and Wales and deals with all aspects of mental health from stress and anxiety to manic depression and schizophrenia. They aim to break the taboo that makes people reluctant to seek help, and work to increase understanding that mental distress is common and can happen to anyone.

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 do dig deep and donate now - I'll be forever grateful and your money will be going to a fantastic, life-changing cause.
