UPDATE
We have now completed the Skydive and an amazing thrill it was too, thanks to all who have donated to this marvellous cause, we are so grateful. The total amount should come to somewhere over £2000 once all the manual sponsorship forms have been totalled, thanks again, we couldn't have done this without you all.

As some of you will know, 7 months ago, our big sister Elaine was diagnosed with cancer. A disease she previously fought off bravely 10 years ago. Sadly, on November 3rd 2010, Elaine lost her second battle with cancer. Elaine was the toughest person we've ever met, not complaining once about her illness in the whole of the stretch, and showed nothing but unbelievable courage.
My brother Daniel and I decided that we should take action, so we played around with a few ideas, spoke to Elaine and Kev, and decided we'd jump out of a plane from 14,000 feet (uh oh!), to raise money, awareness and show thanks to the people who have helped Elaine in this tough time.
The charities Elaine chose were: Christies against cancer, and Macmillan Cancer Support (of which all money raised will be split 50/50).
We all would be very grateful if you could just spare a few pounds here or there, to help Christies in their fight against cancer, and Macmillan nurses, who rely 99% on voluntary donations, providing pratical, medical, and financial support for those who suffer with cancer.
Please, even if you can only afford £1, every penny is welcome and appreciated.
We are jumping on Sunday 5th December at:
Black Knights Parachute Centre

Thank you very much, for all your support.
Chris, Dan, Kev and the Burrows family.
