t’s been amazing to see what people will do to help with the fundraising. Step forward, good friend – Sam Thomson!
What does a man who hates flying and hates heights decide to do to raise money? Hurl himself out of a plane, naturally. This man is risking his life for my future – YES, risking his life! (That’s written for his benefit.) …Though we all know skydiving is far safer than crossing a road. 😉 But still, what an amazing gesture! Who knows – he might even gain a new hobby?
What his wife Gemma didn’t know was that I advertised that if he raises over £5,000, she’ll jump too. ‘Evil genius b*****ds’, I believe she called us when she found out. (Mwahaha!!) Okay, £5k is probably a tall target, but if it happens – everyone’s a winner. Gemma too, I’d like to think.
It’s difficult to put an exact figure on how much he’s raised so far – around £1,000, I think? What an amazing friend this fella is.
Thanks, Sam! And good luck with the jump.
