Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

For those that know me, I love a challenge and after doing a skydive a few years back I promised I would do a wing walk for Team Verrico to help raise some more for this great charity. Unfortunately I put on a few pounds and have been a good bit away from the max weight to do a wing walk for a while.  Time for excuses is over now so I have set myself the following challenges:

Challenge 1: Lose 3 stone and get down to 13.5 stone by August to do the Wing Walk on August 25th (birthday).

Challenge 2: Complete Wing Walk one, which includes barrel rolls, twist and turns and steep dives etc whilst sat on top of a bi-plane.

Challenge 3: Get back on the next plane again and do second Wing Walk, this one includes doing the complete Loop the Loop and more barrel rolls/dives etc,

As somebody who had cancer many years ago, I am in awe of the work that Team Verrico put in to help others, they are a charity that help the people who the NHS won't help and they never give up on anyone no matter how terminal their diagnosis is, and if I can help in a small way then I would be delighted to do so.

Myself and my family are funding the full cost of the Wing Walk, so ALL money raised will go 100% to the charity. 

I am asking all my friends and family, colleagues past and present to please/please/please donate to this charity via my Just Giving page. Every pound/dollar/euro counts so any donation gratefully received.

If you want to find out more about Team Verrico, and the great work they do, take a look at their website link further below. 

https://www.teamverrico.org/

I will be posting updates on the weight loss progress, and I will post the videos of the Wing Walks once completed. 

If one of you who donates wants me to wear something on behalf of you/your company when I do the Wing Walks then the one with the highest donation wins, even if that is a Man Utd shirt etc :-)

Thanks all,

Steve
