I’m terrified of flying; I have to take drugs (legal ones, prescribed by my doctor) just to be able to get on a plane. I dread the feeling of falling; the last time I went on a high dive (you know, those really high diving boards at swimming pools), I was so scared to jump that I had to climb back down the ladder (much to the annoyance of the other people queuing behind me). And I’m scared of fundraising; anything that involves asking people for money makes my stomach turn. So I’ve decided to tackle all three in one go…
…by doing a charity fundraising skydive! On Friday 23rd September, I will board a plane, fly to 10,000 feet and then jump out. This is the single most terrifying thing in the universe as far as I’m concerned. I’m absolutely shitting myself! But one way or another, I’m going to do it.
For the fundraising part of this adventure, if you have any spare pennies, please
sponsor me. And wish me luck (I will need it!).
