    Use your judgement, and above all, be honest with yourself. :)

    good luck with your jump. I am sure you have the best reasons for doing it. However could you not raise money in a manner less hazardous to yourself?

    The hospital I worked in saw many people who had been injured doing these jumps without sufficient training. It cost far more in NHS treatment costs and financial support whilst unable to work than was ever raised for the charity.

    Just wondering if you are paying for the skydive yourself or are you taking the money from the sponsership to pay for the tandem???

    Lincolnshire?? I take that is Hibaldstow. Might be jumping there myself if the weather is good. Should hopefully have my A license by then (ie not a student)

    Smile and be happy, things can usually get worse!
  • How about you giving a month's salary to charity? That would be a much greater challenge than getting other people to sponsor you to do something that's easy! Would you sponsor me to cut my toenails?
