Story

When I was 19 I jumped out of a plane at 2,500ft and did a parachute jump - I haven't jumped out of a plane since then.

On 11th June I jumped out of a plane again but this time from 15,000ft! Some people have said I'm brave and others have said I'm foolish which just goes to show there's a fine line between brave and foolish! The real question is 'was I pushed or did I jump?'

It was a great experience and for those of you have ever thought of doing it you should and raise some money for a charity you support.

I paid my own way for this mid life crisis and am hoping to raise some money for a good cause at the same time. St Pauls is a local charity in Worcester that helps homelessness and its causes. It's not a 'fashionable charity' and as such every pound raised is very important to them and the people they help.  They will put your kind donations to good use so thank you in anticipation of giving generously
