Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

When my Godson, Tom, was little, I promised him in a rash moment that I'd do a tandem skydive with him when he was old enough - never thinking for one minute that he'd remember that chance remark!  Note to self Auntie Jane, children never forget what you've told them!  As Tom approached his 16th birthday, he reminded me about the skydive!  Totally terrified at the prospect, I've successfully managed to stall him for two years, but all the while knowing what a bad Godmother I'd be if I didn't keep my promise.  For his 18th birthday, I finally agreed to (literally) take the plunge on one condition - that we both raise money for charity.  So, on 10th September, during a temporary lapse of sanity, I'm going to hurl myself from an aircraft at a height of over two and a half miles and freefall at 120 mph to help the hounds I love - and Tom will be doing the same for the Multiple Sclerosis Society.  Any contribution you'd be kind enough to give will be much appreciated and will make the sheer terror that I'm soon to experience much easier to bear!

The Retired Greyhound Trust was founded in 1975, since then we are proud to have found over 75,000 loving homes for greyhounds. Each year, we home about 4,000 retired racing greyhounds and help hundreds more, but there are many more that still need us. All money goes directly to helping our hounds.
