Hello. For my 90th Birthday I am raising money for St Helena Hospice by doing a tandem Skydive.

I am doing this because:

1. It's a special event for my 90th.

2. This hospice looked after my wife so well and needs funding.

3. I've done military parachuting in which you are so busy you can't enjoy the experience and jumping from a good height in freefall would be the nuts!

P.S. The parachute photo is me jumping. You can see the container below me carrying all my infantry stuff. It was strapped to my leg and had to released and is hanging by a rope attached to my belt.

St Helena helps local people in North Essex to face incurable illness and bereavement.
