I'm doing a skydive on Saturday!!
 
Hey guys

Ok - the time has come round! I'm jumping out a plane at 15 000 feet on Saturday! What am I thinking?! Right now I'm excited about it but ask me tomorrow... eek! It's for charity so I'm gonna do shameless plea for donations right now!

I'm doing it! A skydive on 2 July 2011 to raise money for Chest, Heart & Stroke Scotland and I'd really appreciate your support. Of course, I expect a few replies saying I'm a bit mental too!

I've set up a JustGiving page to make it easy to donate. All donations are very welcome. Please give what you can. You can donate online with a credit or debit card - just go to my JustGiving page:

http://www.justgiving.com/Alan-Dodd1

JustGiving sends your donation straight to Chest, Heart & Stroke Scotland and automatically reclaims Gift Aid on all eligible donations, so what you give is worth even more.

Thank you all in advance!

Damn right you do! It was a tandem jump, I jumped while strapped to an experienced instructor. Next time I'll do the training and I wanna do a solo one!

Well I can't really answer that one - I'd rather have been strapped to the hot girl who went out of the plane after me (although she was also just a jumper, not a professional, so that wouldn't have been advisable!) His name was Steve and he was areally nice guy though, if that helps?? haha.

A friend from undergrad posted on FB last night that he just did his 1000th jump. :eek:

Me, I don't even like those elevators that give you that weird feeling in the stomach.

But glad you had fun.
