Oh god, I really have to do this now, don't I?

Oh dear.

Anyone who feels like paying good money to see me fling myself out of an aircraft, this is your opportunity. Also bear in mind I'm afraid both of heights and of flying, so this could be one of the worst decisions I've ever made.

I know it's sponsorship season and you've probably had a dozen requests already this morning but this is in memory of a friend who died this time last year and is to raise money for the hospice which looked after him and supported his family in the difficult run-up to to his death. Please don't feel obliged to donate but even a small contribution would be wholeheartedly appreciated. Thanks for reading.
