Falling for someone...?

Through the post today I received something that I had requested earlier this week. It's an information pack about from Iain Rennie Hospice at Home about doing a charity parachute jump for them.



IRHH is an excellent local charity which provides at home care and support for terminal patients. They were absolutely wonderful when my mum was ill and I'm now part of a team which run a two day holiday club for bereaved children with whom they've had contact. I love doing the Chrysalis club because it is a really practical way of supporting a charity which did so much for me. It is using my talents rather than demanding my money and I think we all need to do some stuff that isn't just about puting our hands in our pocket as part of our giving. Somewhat ironically that's a bit more difficult when you're in a job, like youth work, which is essentially doing that a lot of the time.

So I KNOW that this is agood cause and deserves support.

Anyway what I want to know is...

Who thinks I should commit to raising a minimum of £375 to jump out of a plane for Iain Rennie?

well i did one when I was fundraising for my trip the the bahamas and raised £800...

It was soooo much fun and i loved it. My parents paid the £40 for it to be filmed so i have a video and loads of pictures too - the pics are needed to collect the money!!

go for it girl - it's a blast and something you're only likely to get a chance to do once - and it's for a really good cause.

being scared of heights, I believe anyone crazy enough to do this deserves massive amounts of money. Don't do it for less than £500 - and that is in millions!!!
