  On the 28th May I shall be diving out of an aircraft at Headcorn from 10,000ft, plunging to the ground free-fall for the 1st 5,000ft, then (hopefully) parachuting to the ground.
  
  Due to my age I will be with an experienced instructor in tandem (I haven't done this since school days in the CCF/Aircadets).
  
  WHY!?!
  
  I am aiming to raise some cash for The Pilgrim's Hospice and am looking to raise as much as I can (£500min).
  
  I have asked the Boss (P.Boland) and has ok'd my putting it up on here, so if you have any spare cash to sponsor me, please indicate your good intentions and I will be round sharpish with a sponsorship form, suggest Blakes as a good spot to meet up with the forms, sometime in April?
  
  Have posted this today so you don't think it's an 'April Fool' type wind-up...
  
  
  Oh Boy!, That'll be the day.........

  Drop the forms off any time, Richard, we will get as many sponsors as we can. Perhaps Jeanette would do the same.

  What do you mean at your age ? Buddy was only 22 when he left us; do you mean to say you're not quite 22 ??
  
  Have a safe drop Richard - I'll sponsor you; Pilgrims Hospice is a great cause.

  i must admit to a sense of irony in buddy's choice of good cause.
  
  let's hope remembers his parachute.
