Under A Month To Go

So by now you must have heard about the Skydive I am organising this year down in Salisbury - well with about 12 people now signed up and on their way to their targets, I am really happy to say that in less than 1 month, we will have jumped out of a plane across the beautiful plains of Salisbury, freefallen for 40 seconds from 10,000ft and then glided back down to earth, in tandem, to the envious (or not so) families & friends below.

So far, lots of friends have signed up and have been running their own fundraising events to reach their £500 target including:

• Becky, a Bristol friend who has been running a brilliant bi-weekly pub quiz at the Old England Pub in Montpelier, Bristol, with a beautiful homemade cake as the prize, a great selection of rounds (get yourselves a team down next time, its a great laugh!)
  
• Liz, who's parents organised and ran a superb quiz at their local pub in Dorset on Bank Holiday weekend last week, raising over £400 with their quiz, donations and raffle!!!
  
• Jon, who is running a superb Bingo night on a Monday night at the Waggon and Horses, Pinkneys Green in Maidenhead, Berkshire where you can win cash prizes and drinks, along with pride from getting a full house!

It is brilliant to think that everyone is organising their own events for the charity, but also getting lots of family and friends involved in making donations to reach their target. And even better, it is getting the word out about CF to those who perhaps haven't heard much about the disease in the past and hopefully drumming up support for the charity across the country. 

Could always do with a few more divers though, so with a month to go, how about getting involved yourself!
