I am going to do a tandem parachute jump on 10^th September in aid of Charlton Park Riding for the Disabled Association.  I have miraculously got medical clearance - no, don’t laugh – and I had promised to do it in a moment of madness….I am slightly trepidatious, of course, but think it will be a great experience.  

As you know, the RDA is a wonderful charity but the last eighteen months have been very challenging for fundraising.  We have done well and are staying solvent.  However, we need to rebuild the ponies’ day shelter urgently as it is rotten and will need to be replaced.  This will cost about half our total annual budget – so we need to get started on raising the funds.

Of course, all the money raised will go to the RDA as I will be paying the cost of the jump itself.  After all, I am hoping to enjoy the experience.

Keep well and wish me luck.
