GazzaBroon Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I did a parachute jump for the neo-natal once. The group raised nearly ?25,000 collectively, around ?1,200 each which was a quarter of the total. Absolutely bricking maself before the jump but after it I reckoned it was one of the most exhilarating experiences ever! Not that I would rush to do it again lol!

bighusref Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Oh, and by the way. Whilst I accept you will not do the run in a wrestling outfit, I will offer you a compromise. Make your profile picture on here/the Virgin donate page one of YOU dressed as a wrestler and I will double my donation. Who's with me? Given this target was blatantly ignored, I have only donated a tenner. Beats, your shitebagyness has just cost a very worthwhile charity a tenner. I hope you are happy with yourself.

Beats Posted October 1, 2011 Author Share Posted October 1, 2011 Running total is ?1262 that's not including gift aid. Over the moon with that I really never expected to raise anywhere near that. I'd love to say I'm confident I'm going to run a decent time but I'm not I'm looking to do it in under 1 hour and 10 mins.Not a great time but I've started struggling with the training the last few weeks and seem to be getting slower and slower I'm looking forward to it but I'm also very nervous.Over 10000 people have entered (Just hope I won't be last!!!) My race number is 9116 if anyone is wondering. Thanks so much to everyone who has sponsored me it means a lot and you are going to help a lot of people. The link will remain open for a few days after the race if anyone wants to support The Teenage Cancer Trust http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fundraiser-web/fundraiser/showFundraiserProfilePage.action?userUrl=GrantLaidlaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
