Is it a bird?  Is it a plane?  OMG...it’s CHANI!!

Hi guys,

Yes, it’s happened – I have decided to take the plunge – literally!

Of all the crazy things I get up to, I think I am just about to top it all...and I’m SUPER scared!

As you may or may not know, I “suffer” from rheumatoid arthritis, however thanks to research and development of fabulous drugs, I can now lead a “normal” life.

I figured it’s about time I give something back, so I convinced Cheryl and Debbie to join me, and with the help of you guys, we are going to raise loads of cashish to give to the Arthritis Research Campaign as a little thank you!   

Now here’s how it’s going to work.  I will be pestering and harassing everybody and anybody over the next two months to donate lots of money (so the sooner you do it the better).  Then on 12^th September I am going to wear my adult size nappy and jump out of a plane at 10 000 feet.  Luckily for me a (hopefully handsome) dude will be strapped to my back to try and make sure I am alive at the end of all of this.  We will freefall for 5 000 feet at 120mph (picture my cheeks flapping on the side of my head), then the handsome dude will open the parachute and I will steer myself (and him) back down to the centre of the drop zone below (avoiding all major highways).

As you can imagine, I am bricking it already, so please be nice and give generously.  A small contribution can make a big difference in somebody’s life.

Thanks a million!

Chani

PS:  Please don’t tell my mom I’m doing this!
