If I didn't set up the donation page and without all of your donations I probably would have never of done the jump! Sitting on the plane and then edging to the door was truly one of the scariest experiences ever! All I kept thinking was about all the support from all of you and the amount that was raised for Cancer Research and that I couldn’t let anybody down. I am so glad I did it as it was such an amazing and indescribable experience and you have all made what could be my last birthday so extra special and the best birthday ever! Thank you all so very much from the bottom of my heart for all the support - the donations, the spreading of the word and for any way you have supported me over the last year. Thank you!

Also thanks to everyone that managed to come and watch and share the experience with us too! And we apologise for making you all wait but at least the sun was shining! 

**************************************************************

So I have decided to do a Skydive on Saturday April 6th 2013 at 1pm at the Netheravon Airfield near Salisbury with my best friend Michael Green. On that day I will be turning 25 and it will also be 2 weeks after completing 10 months worth of chemo and 6 weeks of radiotherapy. I do not want any presents or gifts, the only thing that I ask for is for a small donation to support us for this great cause. You are all also welcome to come and watch and maybe go for a few drinks after the jump.

Last year has not been the greatest as most of you know I was diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma, a rare bone cancer in my pelvis. I am very fortunate to still be here now when there are so many people out there who have lost their loved ones to cancer. They say that now 1 in 3 of us these days will be affected by this horrible disease so its important that we all do our bit and try to contribute to good charities like this which aims to bring the day when there truly will be a cure for cancer. 

I have decided that it was time to overcome some fears and enjoy life to the fullest. I've always said that I could never do a skydive but looking at the bigger picture, no fear should come in a way of raising money for a good cause. So please contribute whatever you can and provide us with encouragement to make that leap out of the plane. 

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page and for your support.
