Story

I am pleased to let everyone know that I have now completed my skydive and WOW what a fantastic experience.  Weather conditions were great and the staff at Tilstock Airfield were so professional and helped make the experience one I will never forget.  I have to say though that I have no desire to repeat the experience, I think one massive adrenalin rush in anyone's lifetime is enough.

If you still wish to donate you can do so as my page will stay open until December.  A massive thank you to all of you who have already sponsored me, I am blown away with people's generosity..... xx

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On Saturday 18th September I will be jumping out of an aeroplane at 10,000ft to carry out a skydive in aid of Katharine House Hospice.

If you are not familiar with Katharine House Hospice, they provide free hospice care services for people faced with an illness that cannot be cured with their aim being to enable patients and those close to them to live as fully as possible and make the most of the time that they have left.  All of the services are provided free of charge so they rely heavily on donations.

I lost my Mum in November 2007 aged only 57 to bowel cancer and although she never made it to use their facilities they were on hand to help us in our time of need.  There are plenty of people that I know who have benefited from this hospice and if it wasn't for their services they are unsure of how they would have coped. 

This really is a massive challenge for me as I have never done anything quite as mad before, so please dig deep and give whatever you can.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
