Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

NEXT BOOKED JUMP DATE 23rd NOVEMBER!

I have now thrown myself out of a plane for the second time and am still here to tell the tale. The last time I did this I was 18 and actually the first time I had ever flown which always made for some interesting conversation when asked if I had ever flown, the answer would always be "...Well I've taken off in one..." So now it appears I will be doing it all again.... 

I have also taken part in a charity gig race which was another first for me... this was surprisingly hard work... In total our team covered 3.5miles! There were two heats of 6 gigs then a final for the top 6 gigs. We were in the second heat and did so well that we stupidly qualified for the finals - with no rest for the wicked we were straight back out there, tired before we started. All in all it was great fun and would hapily do it all over again! See the gallery for some pics :) 

So to cap off this years fundraising activities I will be walking on fire some time in October, this is mostly due to curiosity as well as finding it hard to say no after jumping from a plane at over 10,000 feet!... Then in December there will be the Christmas fun run back in my home town of St. Austell... I believe it is fancy dress too :/

I sincerely hope that all my efforts will not be in vain, and it is you, my friends, colleagues and acquaintances that it falls on for your support no matter how small a donation, whatever you are comfortable with I want you to know that it is gratefully received. Online donations with Just Giving is perfectly safe and easy to complete in a matter of seconds. See below for info and THANK YOU!
