At the beginning of September my daughter and some of her work colleagues were brave enough to do a parachute jump for a colleague at work who has been diagnosed with M.N.D. The disease seemed to have raced forward and she was in need of an electric wheelchair so these brave girls were sponsored to jump.Now i was under the impression she was doing a tandem parachute jump, but no she informed me on the day she was supposed to do it that she was doing it solo from a bi-plane (now I was really scared) my daughter is a little accident prone to say the least. Not only were they jumping solo but they had to walk the along the wing at 3000 ft (by now the nails were being bitten to the quick), several texts and pacing about found they had to return the next day to jump (some unforeseen circumstances)
To cut a long story or jump short they eventually jumped the next day she did text and ask if I wanted to go and watch but there was no way I could watch my daughter jump out that plane it was bad enough at home. Well done to them all, not sure if my stomach has returned to normal yet.
Would you like to see some photo's of my brave girl, course you would.
Almost ready to jump.
On the descent.
One must remember to gather in the parachute.
Look she's been certified.
The brave girls well done to you all my daughter is the one on the left.
