Charity Skydives - Sponsor link added!

Hey guys/gals,

I intend to be Skydiving in the next couple of months to raise money for St. Andrews Hospice in Airdrie. My cousin is spending his "last couple of weeks" in here while suffering from cancer. The staff are very helpful in looking after him as my Aunt is also a cancer sufferer and is unable to do it herself. I wish to repay the charity for everything they are doing so thought this seemed appropriate.

Heres the charities website: http://www.st-andrews-hospice.com/
the amount of donations actually required to run this charity really hits home: "St. Andrews Hospice’s annual running costs are approximately £4.2M of which nearly £2.2M has to be raised each year from public donations. This is a weekly fundraising target of £42,000."

Just wondering if anyone has done this before? If am honest am shit scared of heights so anyone with experience would be a help!

Cheers,

Craig


EDIT: sadly my cousin passed away on Sat 7th of March :(

Since a few of you guys generously suggested sponsoring me for this i have set up an online sponsor which give you the confidence the money is goin straight to the charity. heres the link:

Thanks again!

Craig

as for experience you`l prob shit yourself but when down you`l want to go straight back up.

its amazing how so many charities are public dependant however still function, maybe one good thing about this country ( the public)
