    Hi folks

    I've signed up to jump out of a perfectly good aeroplane in June to raise money for the Saints Foundation, any of you guys out there doing it also?

    Me personally - nope! I done a skydive over at Netheravon Air Base for Dreams Come True 2 Years ago ...brilliant experience!

    Anyway Optimisticsaint thought of sharing an idea with you which could help you raise a nice amount for Saints Foundation.

    Visit... www.justgiving.com

    Here you can create your Sponsorship Account for yourself & link it to the Charity in question - then you can ask friends , Family to sponsor you online ....speaking from experience this is a very useful / user friendly website for raising money for charity

    (also ask nicely on here and you might find some members and a mod's may even sponser you aswell)

    Just an idea for you tho mate - all the best with it <ok>

    Where are you skydiving? I did it in New Zealand and it's absolutely fantastic!
    And I agree with KingslandSFC, justgiving is a really good website.

    Seriously considering it but not sure about commiting to that pledge. I think the Great South Run is more my cup of tea. Good luck though.

    Kingsland, thanks for the info on www.justgiving.com, I'll go check it out later.
    Champ Kind: Sports, the jump is from Netheravon near Salisbury and I'm really looking forward to it - it's one of those things that's been on my must do list for years so thought now was a good time.

    Thanks for the support everyone

    When in June optimistic..... I used to live at Netheravon so Know it well. Will try and come down for a Gander at the jump. Of course, you don't live too far from there do you. I also used to live many years ago at a little village called coombe, just outside of Enford.

    25th of June Beddytare. It's only about 12 miles from my place so quite handy - damn sight quicker than my usual round trip to SMS <laugh>



    Took your advice Kingsland.
