OK, this is’nt my usual Internet Marketing Post, but I thought what better way to tell you all and WHY I am about to jump out of an aeroplane at 10,000 feet!

Well, for those of you that have read some of my posts previously will know that my Step Son Paul PAUL is severly disabled with Cerebral Palsy and requires 24/7 care.

Paul is now 22, but for many years he has been in out of hospital with various Chest Problems and numerous other helth problems, some touch and go, but he is strong willed and just keeps fighting back!

Considering his life expectancy was 11-15 years old, he has proved medical science wrong time and time again.

However I put most of this down to his family and his lust for life……but it is tiring and hard work caring for Paul.

So back in 2001 we were fortunate enough to receive a placement at a local Childrens Hospice so my wife, daughter and I could get some much needed respite…only 15 nights year, but these were 15 very important nights. TBH, the Hospice were always accomodating and gave us extras and freebies when we were in need. Paul has now had to leave CHASE has he went past the 19 yr old limit !

Anyway, I digress.

The reason for this post is pure and simple, Paul has a new place for respite in Oxford (some 1hr and 30 minutes away from where we live) but because of the awesome work and care CHASE Hospice gave caring for Paul, I have persuaded 11 colleagues who I work with to do a Parachute Jump 10,000 ft on 3rd October 2009 so I can give back to them and say thank you!

BTW, this is a Tandem Jump……..I’m not brave or Stupid

We have set a pretty hefty target of £6,000 between us, but I am sure the generosity of the IM community will support this worth while cause!

You can easily donate online by going to the link, read a bit more about us a alot more about CHASE and the £4,000,000 a year they need to keep running and where and when we will Jumping!
