Dear friends,
Please please help me raise a heap of money for Marie Curie Cancer Care. There’s not long left so I have to make a concerted effort to reach target (£800).
On May 16th I will be visiting Hibaldstow Airfield with a bunch of friends and we will be doing a tandem jump from 10,000 feet. Jumping out of a plane will be a first for me so its all very exciting and a chance to tick another box of ‘things I ought to have done by the time I finish being 40′!
Many many thanks to those who have already sponsored me, particularly mum and Clare for getting things started so generously.
I will be arriving at the ‘drop zone’ at 13:00 on Saturday 16th May. If you would like to come and watch then you would be very welcome to come along and join the ground crew. Non jumpers on the ground include brother David, mum and dad, Jane and Stephen. If you plan on coming along please leave a comment on this blog. In fact leave a comment on this blog anyway! Please give me whatever support you can!

Thanks! 
UPDATE (Wednesday 13th) Sponsorship is now in excess of £700. If we can get over £800 then Vicki will jump too!! How exciting
UPDATE (Thursday 14th) We have reached to £800 mark. That means Vicki will be joining me and diving from the plane! New target is £1,000.

Hi Patrick
How is this for coincidence? I did a charity tandem jump for St Christopher’s Hospice two weeks ago at Headcorn Airfield in Kent.
It was great fun & also for a good cause, so I’m sure you will enjoy your jump too.
ps/ the Cry when you leave the plane is far from Silent…. they recommend you scream your head off to help you breathe when leaving the plane.
cheers

Hey Sanj, Our lives run in parallel!
… and I am no longer a non jumper! There were last minute places available so I’ll be jumping too! That means the target is now £1000, but we have such generous friends I’m sure we’ll make it.
I’m so excited.

Enjoy every moment I am sure you will! Enjoy the rush and sound of the air as you fall through the sky at phenomenal speed. Then you appreciate how quiet it really is up there when the parachute is open and you feel motionless – amazing experience, truly amazing.
Get the video and photos if you can.
Best of luck with it and what an excellent cause to raise money for. I think everyone should at least make some small donation.
