Hi, I was diagnosed with Secondary Progressive M S in 1993 but I am still able to walk.

I carried the fears and trepidations associated with this disease on my own with my wife’s support until 2009 when I met Tim Worner via a leaflet in Poole hospital

I was introduced to Osborne Day Centre by him in 2010 and since then I have not looked back.

The centre has given me an immense boost in confidence concerning my capabilities.

I want to give something back and decide that I would also test myself whilst doing so by committing to a Tandem Skydive from 10,000 feet out of an aircraft.

I have an innate fear of heights but I am convinced that I can do this.

MS may prevent me from doing some things in life I used to do so I am determined to fulfil this to prove to myself that the only way is forward.  I am going to give all the money raised to the Bournemouth and District branch of MS Society based at Osborne Centre West Parley so I hope that you will support me with donations.

 

Thank you
