Story

Hi, and thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

Please understand that jumping out of an aircraft at low level requires a level of dedication to attain a goal, and there could not be a better goal than to repay a debt to those who have served and need our support now!

On 16th August 2009 I will attend TEXEL Island the Dutch Military parachute training centre to complete the Dutch Military Parachute Course, as a member of the Combined Irish Regiments Old Comrades Association (ex-service). This course will require me to complete five low level parachute jumps from a height of 600metres using a static line military round canopy parachute.

On completion of the course I will qualify for the Dutch Military Jump Wings, with a Classification 'A'  parachute qualification.

I have never parachuted before, and may never do so again!!! But please help me in my aim for this cause!

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Help for Heroes 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!

Many Thanks

John
