Story

Hello Everyone and thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I turned 75 this year and decided I needed to revisit my "bucket list" to mark this birthday.  I've tried paragliding in New Zealand, Jet Ski-ing in Poole and Water Ski-ing in Malta so a tandem parachute jump seemed the likely contender.  My daughter, Sharon, has done one, well if she can do it, I certainly can.

I wanted my sponsorship money to go to a local charity so I have chosen Diverse Abilities.  They support children and adults with profound physical and/or learning disabilities and their families right here in Dorset.  Please visit their website for more info.

My daughter is funding the jump so any donations you can spare, however small, will go directly to the charity.

Thanks - I'll post some pictures/video when I've done the jump - wish me luck !!
