Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In a moment of madness I signed up for a tandem skydive to raise funds for ICR.  On 21st July I jumped out of a plane at 15,000 feet and fell at 120 mph, counting the 60 seconds until the parachute opened!  I was absolutely petrified, but was so glad when it was all over! 

I didn't quite reach my fundraising target, so am continuing the fundraising with our annual Climb of Life trek in the Lake District on 8th November.  With the number of friends affected by this disease increasing, any contribution to the cause is very much appreciated.
