Ok i'm a lunatic with type 1 !!

I still can't believe i've decided to do this, took a while to make my mind up and having nightmares already about jumping out of a plane, but i've figured there's not many things i'm good at that would help raise money, so why not do something insane instead !

If anyone here can donate even £1 then fabulous. JDRF is a truly worthy cause and we owe it them to help find a cure to put a stop to this, so I hope as many as possible will just leave whatever they can and i'll do my best to make sure I do jump out - date is to be confirmed around 3rd or 10th August at Brackley (if you want to come and have a laugh !) - I will be providing updates on this thread to the dates and level of fear i'm experiencing in the months leading up to it...

Well done for being so brave, I couldn't do that, and my dad was a paratrooper in WW11!!
I would love to donate JDRF, as you say it's a wonderful cause. Brilliant :-D

Robin - that's very kind, thank you so much, I hope it's ok to post the link on here, but I sort of figured that we all have a common interest which is to help find a cure and every little bit helps.

Next question - should I take out insurance ?!

:blackeye:

Hello again, Insurance ? good question. I would get in touch with JDRF as I'm sure they must of had many questions about this type of thing and if they can't advise, maybe they could point you in the right direction. Good luck.

It's me again begging sponsorship !!

JDRF are really worth supporting so even if you've got a £1 or £1000 - please sponsor me !

I read recently a 96 Amercian woman did a skydive, with this piece of knowledge I am feeling somewhat slightly more confident :woot:
