Guys n gals,

I'm doing a parachute jump to raise money for The Muscular Dystrophy Campaign on 19th November.

I need to raise a minimum of £400 but wanted to go that extra bit and reach £600 (more would be amazing though).

If you'd like to sponsor me then the easiest way is to head to http://www.justgiving.com/MaFt

Cheers :D

MaFt, would you like people to include either PGPSW or their username (or both) in the message, so you know where your support's coming from?

You mad fool !

I did one of these 25 years ago. The first 1999' 6" was exhilarating, but the last 6" broke my foot.

At least I got to jump. Our training included continually throwing ourselves on the ground and rolling over and a friend broke a rib in his back and didn't jump.

Enjoy !

Philip

Well, I think I'd have screamed much louder than that (and I'd have needed a darker coloured jump suit). Very Happy
