Story

I did it!!! Sky diving with the Red Devils to raise money for Disability Snowsport UK - a charity that allows people with any disability to be able to take part in a life-enhancing, therapeutic exciting sport alongside able bodied people. Take a look if you have 10 mins http://vimeo.com/6869679 

 

What a jibbering wreck I was beforehand but thankfully big Red Devil Corporal Billy Blanchard came to my rescue and took contro! Nerves completely got the better of me but these guys were fantastic.  It's a good thing to challenge yourself and put yourself in a position that frightens you and takes you completely out of your comfort zone. I started to think why on earth am I putting myself through this until Nic from Chill Factor e who was also jumping said ' just remember why we signed up for this, to help make other peoples lives easier'

 

Thanks to the Red Devils & the rest of the fab team who did the skydive. Thanks to all of you for your donations It really means a lot to me and to Disability Snowsport UK - The Skiers and Boarders Charity.
