Fundraising for Breast Cancer Now
Story
Welcome to my fund-raising page.
As you may know I was diagnosed with breast cancer on April Fools Day 2008 (no joke!). Following surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and lots of retail therapy I have now decided to go for a bit of adrenaline therapy by throwing myself out of a plane! Of course I am not going to do this without being strapped to a good looking bloke in a tight fitting jump suit (and hopefully a parachute), but nevertheless I will be very nervous on the day!
My 10,000ft freefall skydive will take place on Sat 30th May and I would like to raise as much money as I can for Breakthrough Breast Cancer. 46,000 more women will be diagnosed this year and 1,000 will die every month so let's see what we can do together to get rid of this horrible disease once and for all - I certainly never want any of my very supportive family, my wonderful friends or my beautiful daughter and her friends, to ever suffer the indignity of having one tit and no hair!!
Please be as generous as you can, but please be assured that even the smallest amount will be put to good use. THANKS SO MUCH!
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Breakthrough Breast Cancer gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
So please sponsor me now!

Ps In case you want to know what's involved:
Technically the jump is called a "Tandem Skydive". It is a Skydive because I will be freefalling through the air (without the parachute deployed) for several thousand feet. It is a tandem because I will be harnessed to a professional parachute instructor at all times throughout the descent, hopefully!!
Imagine standing at the edge of an open doorway in an aircraft flying at 10,000 feet - the noise of the engines and the wind ringing in your ears with only the outline of distant fields below. Now imagine leaning forward out of the doorway and letting go - falling forward into the clouds, diving down through the air as you start freefalling at over 120mph covering 1,000 feet every five seconds. Then imagine the peace and quiet as the canopy opens, the steering toggles come down either side of you and you begin a tranquil parachute descent from a mile up in the air, steering yourself back down to the centre of the drop zone below. Peace and quiet, you must be joking, you will hear me screaming from 2 miles up!! x x
