Vicki's Skydive

Skydive actually done today (7th December 2013)!
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 that doorway and letting go - falling forward into the clouds, diving down through the air as you start freefalling at over 120mph!
On the 19th May 2012 that is what I will doing to raise money for a charity I am very passionate about, Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research (LLR).
In 2010, at the age of 52, my Dad was diagnosed with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia. Leukaemia like many other cancers presents in different forms. My Dad has been battling the disease since but like for so many people, there is unfortunately no magic cure.
Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research is a fantastic charity whose life-saving research is focused on finding causes, improving diagnosis and treatments, and running groundbreaking clinical trials for all blood cancer patients.
I would like to raise as much money as possible to help the charity and I am donating £280 to cover the cost of the sky dive so that the charity does not incur any costs and all donations from you lovely people go straight to the right place.
Please help me to help them, so please dig deep and donate now!
