Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.  On 9th October 2010, I fulfilled a lifelong personal ambition - to make a tandem parachute jump, aiming to raise as much money as I could for two very worthy causes at the same time:

Farm Crisis Network (http://www.farmcrisisnetwork.org.uk) - is a UK network of volunteers drawn from the farming community and local churches.  Their mission is to walk with and support farming families as they seek to resolve their problems, whatever they may be.

The Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution (http://www.rabi.org.uk) is a grant-making charity that supports members of the farming community facing need, hardship or distress.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charities.  RABI have kindly agreed to act as "banker" with JustGiving and will make sure that FCN receives half the money raised in due course.

(Every penny raised will go to the charities - the cost of the tandem parachute jump itself is not coming out of the sponsor money).

So please dig deep and donate now - it will mean the world to our farmers and those who support them.
