This is more challenging than the SKY DIVE itself.........so frustrating sometimes this website will let me and sometimes it won't at the moment it won't. I am trying to upload the dvd but it is too big by the looks of it. I have tried several times to get it on facebook as well but no joy. Will try utube in a minute and then on tuesday the guys at the town hall will hopefully put it on the mayoral website for everyone to view......(here's hoping)
Thanks again for your support

So I did it...........OMG what a rush the free fall was the scariest thing in my life ever!!!!!! It was completely white as I was in a big fluffly white cloud .....the pulling of the shoot was ok, easy in comparison to the freefall........that is just so fast you can not believe....I was falling at first at 250mph, then a small shoot goes up to slow you to 150mph......It was hard to breathe the air was so cold and then the grey cloud was soooooo wet and then I was through and could see the earth....the float down was 'out of this world'.....and we landed and stayed stood up...woo hoo will post some photos later and my video will be on the mayoral website asap and on my facebook and possibly utube.....
Thanks yo every one who has sponsored me you amde it well worth the fear factor!!!!!!
thank you again

It was fun to see my story in the local press, lots of people have recognised me and pledged monies for sponsorship so thankyou to everyone who has donated so far we are really grateful. I have been training hard at the gym so I don't get injured or pull any muscles on th eway down....Body pump is a favourite at the moment at Target Fitness in Hazel Grove, it is a great place to work out, the staff are all really friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed.
This Easter Sunday I was in Bramhall Park with the Mayor collecting sponsorship for the jump, people were interested to hear all about it and we raised a cople of hundred pounds altogether so another BIG thankyou for all your support.
It was great to meet someone who has done a jump as well, he said it was great fun and I will enjoy it so....here's hoping.
bye for now

I went to be interviewed at PURE FM (107.8fm) on Friday morning, it was a little nerve wracking.........hearing the sound of your own voice is a little off putting to say the least. They will be broadcasting it soon, on a show called New Horizons on a Sunday morning between 8am and 10am (bit early for me as it is the only day my alarm doesn't get me up). Then again on a monday evening between 7-8pm and also on the Tuesday on a programme called Stockport Focus. My fundraising is going ok, just need some more online donations. Thanks for takinbg the time and effort to support me it is much appreciated.
So I have sorted out a poster and put a couple of pictures of skydiving in my album. Checked out the place were I will be jumping from, it is called The Black Knight Parachute Centre it looks great. Though after the story in the news yesterday I was starting to feel very nervous......will make sure I know how to steer it before I jump......
I watched a couple of videos of other people's skydives it looks amazing, I find I am swinging between extreme excitment to extreme fear... a friend suggested calms or even valium on the day but I will be fine (she says to herself).... hopefully. Thanks for your sponsorship I really appreciate it and for your words of encourgement (or just thinking i am mad!! hahha)
