My first event was on Saturday 7th August at Langar Airfield, Nottingham. I completed my biggest fear and phobia as I went up to an astounding 14,000 feet in a small plane only to come back down much quicker! I was strapped to an experienced instructor before leaving the small plane (last one in, first one out). It was certainly a thrill and got the heart racing! Hitting speeds of up to 140mph at the initial speed before deploying the parachute it gave me an adrenaline rush! Dare I say it… I want to do it again!
I initially pledged to raise £500, and I am proud to announce I raised a huge £845! I would like to say a HUGE Thank you to everyone who helped me raise this amazing figure!
I am yet to decide what my next challenge will be and whether it will be for charity or for my own personal achievement. Like with the skydive I will be aiming to pay for any challenge myself.
I will be taking 2022 and 2023 off to focus more time on studying before jumping back into events from 2024.
