Lesley (Maxines mum)
I'm aviophobic & acrophobic. So, naturally, I'm doing a 15,000ft Skydive.
Fundraising for Blythe House Hospice
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I really, really don't like flying. I really, really don't like heights. My legs shake when I stand on a chair to change a lightbulb. I'm 40 years old and one of the most idle people I know.
So when the opportunity arose to jump out of a plane at 15,000ft, it seemed like the most ridiculously stupid thing to do and a brilliant cause to do it for. I'm going to have to lose some weight and, apparently, "grow a pair" but I've already started preparing myself for this challenge.
This morning I made it to the 3rd step on a ladder without squealing. I think I could've got higher but the children in the playground were starting to queue up behind me and the parents were starting to give me funny looks...
I sincerely hope you can spare a couple of pounds for a great charity.
