Last year for my 40th , I wanted to do something special and that I'd alway's remember , so I decided on a charity tandam skydive , I'd often thought about doing one over the years but my fear of heights and planes stopped me , but raising money for my local cats protection gave me the courage I needed ! , on the day after waiting around for what seemed like forever it was time to go then the fear hit me but I smiled through it , I climbed in the plane and looked out of the window as we went upto 10,000 ft then the door opened and there was no going back ! , I just remembered why I was doing it and said to my instructor I don't believe I jumped out of that plane ! the view was amazing when we came down to land I forgot what I'd been told and tried to land on my feet on hit the ground with a slight bump , I raised £500 so it was worth it and yes I would do it again just try and get my landing better next time ! , so I'd say to anyone face your fears and raise some much needed funds for your charity , people will
sponsor you if only because they think you are mad !
