My Story
“Like so many of us, cancer has made an impact on our lives, we watch loved ones deal with the diagnosis, treatment and recovery and we want to help and support in any way that we can. So, with the support of my family (?) I’m going to jump off a cliff ……. strapped to a fit young man, Pad Court of High Adventure Paragliding on the Isle of Wight and enjoy a tandem paraglide off Compton Down, along the coast and back!. Why? Because I like a challenge, I’m a fit 86 year old who has been fortunate to avoid ill health and want to raise funds for Cancer Research. Your support with sponsorship would be hugely appreciated.
