Story

Jumping out of a plane at 12,000 ft attached to someone I have never met is possibly one of the stupidest ideas I have had for many reasons:

1) I'm scared of heights

2) I have a wife & two children and if anything was to happen to me...

3) If anything was to happen to me and I survived, what my wife will do to me...

4) I have to lose 2 stone (28lbs) before I can do it!

I am looking for at least 400 people to donate £2.50 or more to help me hit my target of £1000.  This figure would be incredible for me and for Derian House, but far more importantly for the terminally ill children and for their families.

To complete this jump I need to be 15 stone which requires me losing at least 2 stone (28lbs!).  This shows my personal commitment to this challenge, it's not as simple as getting out there and jumping from a plane!

I am looking to to jump in July/August so it doesn't give me long so please motivate me and start donating.

 

Please give as generously as you can afford, after all this money would make far more difference in their account than it will in yours and think how good that will feel...

Many thanks in advance

Rob
