Story

Please sponsor me in this attempt at skydiving. I am going to jump out of a plane at 10,000 feet, freefall to 5000 feet at 120 mph! 

Cancer is a big trauma to deal with at any timepoint in your life and working at the Institute of Cancer Research we are trying to help find new strategies for cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment and cure.

My grandma died of cancer when she was only 46 years old, and my nan is currently being treated for breast cancer, making this cause personal to me. Thanks to research and drug discovery many cancers are now do not have such high mortality rates, yet the effect on quality of life can be huge.

Donating is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Institute of Cancer Research gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now, its a worthy cause...and Im taking the plunge on 10/05/2009!!! So don't delay!!!
