Its now about six weeks since I returned from my trip. I have been catching up with friends and work colleagues since I got back. I got some great news from Sarah Hewitson in that she had collected the money to-gether from Sarah Close and from Rachael Barnet for the Tandem Jumps they did for NACC. They raised the fantastic amount of £708.00. I am very grateful to all of the girls for this, this money has now been deposited into NACC's bank account. In addition to this I have totalled up all the various amounts I have been given when on my travels, along with donations from DZ's in the form of free jumps and from people who have given me free or reduced cost of accommodation, also from people back at home. It has all added up to £757.00 and a cheque has now gone off for that also. The total up to now on the web site combined with other donations is £5895 and if you add the tax refund in it adds up to £6263.08 and money is still coming in.
I would like to thank Cess, Mal, Alan Thompson and all the staff at Peterlee Parachute Centre for taking such good care of the girls on their tandem jumps. Thanks guy's
I have been asked to write a couple of articles, one for the USPA magazine and one for our own Skydive Mag -hopefully these will be published and may possibly encourage more people to visit the just giving web site and make a donation.
I will keep the blog running as long as it seems appropriate. I would be grateful on any feedback you can give me re the blog.
