Hiya All......Well its less than a month til my Skydive with the Red Devils.(18th May) I was hoping to raise a bit more than I have, but I understand the current money situation of most people. Although....A little bit more would help my cause no-end.
WHY AM I DOING THIS????
Well two reasons,
Firstly.... I want to raise funds for the forgotten servicemen and women of the various conflicts around the world. Some of these people have come back from serving their country and have been given a 'back seat' in the rest of thier lives. The NGVFA (National Gulf Veterans and Families Association) are on hand to give them a better chance to get on in 'the driving seat'! Plus (and this is an important factor), The money raised by the NGVFA goes directly to its intended destination, unlike the funds given to that 'BETTER KNOWN' charity......meaning, 'The powers that be' dont get their paws on any of your donations via some 'greed tax'!!!
Secondly.....'The Life For A Kid Foundation' will also benefit from my jump. I have got sponsor forms as well as the JUST GIVING page. All the monies from the sponsor forms will b split into two and shared between the LFKF and NGVFA. So the more I get the better.
As some of you may know, LFKF have many backers in our sport. We have James Graham and Lee Radford as patrons. In fact, Jammo even dedicated his latest man of the match award to the charity.
We also run the GB Allstars Touch Rugby Team. The Allstars all give their time and skills freely to raise funds by playing exhibition games against teams of paying 'fans'. Its a great set up and has some great ex-pro's. Players like Garry Schofield, Tommy Martyn, Paul Newlove, Graham Steadman, Steve Hampson and Chico Jackson are amongst an ever growing pool of players that 'just wanna carry on'!
So please (if you can) HELP ME MAKE THIS A PROUD MOMENT! The link below will take you to my Just Giving page.....If you dont trust this, then please ask to be added to my sponsor form to feed both charities!
Thank you......PLEASE CLICK ON THE LINK BELOW....And Mods..........please close my other thread if you want!

Maybe people are misinterpreting your thread title? They might think it’s a sad appeal from a long term singleton!  |

Good luck Chewie and anyone who has a couple of quid spare donate it. It is for a good cause and jumping out of a plane is not easy.

| Cheers Wolfie.....Tell ya what....I'l bring ya some forms to fill in. Then you can do one too.  . I've actually been asked by a few people "Wow, how do yo do that, i'd love to give it a go", Soooo I'm bringing the info back with me. I got mine paid for through the National Gulf Veterans And Families Association (NGVFA).....Thats why I've gotta split the funds with them and Life For A Kid.
Gonna be torn though......dont know wether to wear my FC shirt or my Life For A Kid GB Allstars shirt over my jumpsuit?????? In fact, at this moment in time, thats my only concern  (Honest)  |

| Well..............Been there, done that and got the Tshirt......Quite simply an amazing feeling!
The Red Devils have probably got to have the best job in the world.
Thank you soooo much to all my sponsors on here. You have made me proud to be an RL supporter. |

It costs £90 to video (and stills) by the Red Devils cameraman......Unfortunately....I didnt know this before I left...oh.....and couldnt afford it anyway!!!
BUT.....There are loads of photos on FB of us all suited and booted... and I do have a 'landing video' of me.
The jump....well, it was brilliant. I wasnt scared at all. Maybe a tad 'nervy' when I was getting dangled out of the plane...Then just did a forward roll into the top of the clouds. (all you could see). We fell about 7,000 feet before the canopy was deployed. There was no jolt or snagging like it seems on TV....we just slowed down really quickly....Then I enjoyed the veiw for the next six or so minutes.
All in all............A very enjoyable experience that I would do again in a breath. If any of ya get the chance....'Ave it !!! |
