Hi,

A few months back i decided that as I enter my 50th year I would do a few positive things. One of these being a charity tandem Skydive which I've signed up to for September 14th of this year.

Now, I wouldn't say I'm great with heights and I can get a bit weak at the knees just looking over the edge of a multi storey car park. So the thought of leaping out of a plane at 13000ft with a stranger attached to my back is pretty nerve racking. Free fall is 120mph apparently which is equally exciting as it is scary.

Anyhow, I've ordered some Big Boy Pants and the charity I've chosen is the brilliant LOROS.

Both myself and my brilliant wife, Jo have had family members who have been through LOROS and naturally additional family members who have had peace of mind knowing their loved ones are cared for during their final days.

So my pledge to LOROS is to raise £800 or more. If you like the idea of me being nervous between now and September and then a complete wreck on the day then please dig deep and offer whatever you can to help raise funds (and smash my target) for a wonderful local charity.

Jo oddly enough has been reading my life insurance policy small print.... Hmmmm... 🤔

Additional information about LOROS is below.

LOROS is a charity whose aim is to enhance the quality of life of adult patients with cancer, progressive neurological conditions and end-stage organ failure for whom curative treatment is no longer possible. Patients are treated at the Hospice and in the community based upon clinical need, regardless of background and the ability to pay.
