Story

WHO THROWS THEMSELVES OUT OF A PERFECTLY GOOD AIRPLANE.

Wayne has kind of left this to me

So far today we have just past the £2000 mark and a lot of time to go yet.

Ok Question / Back Round

Me and Wayne grew up together and have been best friends most of our, lives always pushing each other into something the other person is uncomfortable with.

Wayne is a professional racing driver so I get to attend most of his races all over the world, so there is always something to push us both out of our comfort zone. When we both came up with the idea of challenging ourselves to a sky dive, after doing some research into it, we realised the charity we both wanted to support was AMH

Mental health means so much to me for various reasons with the main one being loss of my father. Wayne and I believe there is not enough awareness out there for men who suffer from mental health and are excited to be able to our bit to help promote it as best we can. We can’t think of any better way to help promote this cause than by doing a skydive, raising awareness and money for AMH and in turn help others out.

Neither Wayne or I have ever done a skydive, but we both love an adrenaline rush, especially with our love for motorsport. Jumping out of a perfectly good aeroplane and accelerating towards the ground from several thousand feet in the sky with a thin bit of fabric is definitely one way to get that rush and the wind in your hair.

When is the skydive taking place?

We are completing this sky dive 22 June.

How much do you hope to raise and what is the figure at present?

As much as possible. Our target is £3,500and if we can get to this or even above it we will both be ecstatic.

Have you any advice for others thinking about taking part in a skydive for AMH?

We will let you know on the 22nd!!
