Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On August 30, I'm jumping out of a plane god knows how many feet in the air (it's probably best that I don't think about that bit).

I'm doing it to support a charity that means a lot to me.

My good friend and former Oldham Chronicle colleague John O'Mara has Parkinson's Disease. He's done a skydive before (despite him being close to 80) so when he asked me to join him on the next one, I couldn't say no.

To say I'm looking forward to throwing myself out of a plane would be a lie, but if John can do it, so can I.

And if it raises money for this amazing charity it'll all be worth it.
