Would you pay money to throw me out of a plane?

Refuge is my firm's London Office charity of the year. I am on the charity committee and as the other members do loads of other good stuff to contribute I thought I should do my bit, and losing weight is something of a 'win win'

Now I did consider a pounds (£s) for pounds (lbs.) approach but that just made the admin and monitoring difficult. Therefore my incentive is that I am going to do a sponsored parachute jump for Refuge on July 27th 2013, and to do that I have to shed the excess.

Having read the rules and if I do this in 'tandem' the weight limit is 15 stone, so this is my initial target. This is approx. 35 lbs. off my starting weight so is no walk in the park (although that might help!)

So you are sponsoring me to get fit for my long term health benefits only to jeopardise my short term health launching myself out of a plane...

The other good news is that my firm will match like for like any donations I receive so for every £10 you donate Refuge will receive £20, to good an offer to turn down.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

If you are a tight git then text MATB47 to 70070 as this will donate £2......
