Skydive for St. Gemma’s Hospice

My page: http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/Sarahs-Events-for-StGemmasHospice

Anyone that knows me is probably wondering why I'm attempting to leave my safe little world of cooking, painting and facebooking, and leap out of a plane, I'm not exactly the epitome of an "extreme sports guru"! The truth of the matter is that I truley believe that St Gemma's Hospice is a brilliant cause and that it deserves me risking life and limb for.

People know this year I want to make a change, not just for myself, but for others. Please support me as I take up a personal challenge to attempt to do something incredible this year that makes a difference.

I may not be the fittest, I may not be the strongest but this year I want to find a way to support others that struggle on day to day with dignity, whom show more strength and courage than I have done in my 29 years.

To do this, I have decided to become a quivering bags of wobbly nerves and do something a little crazy and and try my wits at a tandem skydive.

In order to do this jump I have pushed myself to lose 4 stone in weight already.

A tandem skydive is an exhilarating experience: you get the adrenalin rush of the parachute jump, jumping from 15,000ft, with a minute's freefall.

If you are unable to contribute, no problem. One way or the other, if each of you receiving this would forward this email to everyone in your address book who may wish to help, asking them to donate and/or forward ...think of the possibilities!! No amount is too small. Every pound counts and will be so very much appreciated. Thanks for anything you can do.
