Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

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 charity.

Yes it is true - I am doing the Jump for Mothers’ day. And I want your money.

On 10th April 2010 in Cambridge, I am doing a sponsored tandem skydive – I am throwing myself out of an plane, 10,000ft in the air, strapped to a man (who I assume will have a parachute) and then fall through the air at 120mph.  Probably screaming quite loudly.

Why am I doing this?  Most of my friends say it is because I am mad/insane/crazy (these are very common words in my in box at present).  I say it is because I have always fancied doing this and I am passionate about the NCT.  So when the chance came to combine the two I jumped at it.

The NCT is UK's leading charity for parents. Every year we support thousands of people through the incredible life changing experience of pregnancy, birth and early parenthood.  Becoming a parent is a life-enhancing experience, but it can also be challenging and sometimes stressful. We are here to help parents through this transition, offering relevant information, reassurance and mutual support.

The NCT depends on donations to fund vital counselling and information services for new parents and parents-to-be.

£35 provides over three hours of breastfeeding counselling to new mums through our helpline £60 enables us to distribute Bumps & Babies magazine to 120 expectant parents £120 pays for nearly six weeks of training for one of our specialist workers.

Please help me raise much needed funds for the NCT.

Plus there is more than one of us jumping on that day.  My good friend Geraldine Edgington is jumping and is the person who suggested it to me.  We also have Jules Jones, Victoria Lowry, Kate McTigue and Maria van der Veer.
