Charity skydive: Older person needed to participate

Anya I am afraid I would do massive damage jumping off my sofa.

Sorry Anya, the sofa is far too high, I get vertigo.

What a shame I have two broken arms or I'd have signed up for this no problem.

If someone takes up the challenges, why don't we all at GN enter into the spirit of it and support them by jumping off our sofas at the self same moment they leap from the plane?

This is great. Now old people will have a chance to enjoy these amazing rides. You can also help this NGO who has been doing remarkable job by helping old age people. If you are willing to help old age people, you can support this NGO: www.zokudo.com/charity/helpage-india

Wait til I have my hip operation.

I would love to volunteer for this, unfortunately we are on holiday that day.

I heard the other day re a charity sky dive to raise funds for a hospital, that the injuries resulting from the skydive - nothing major but several of them - cost the hospital more than the money raised.

I did one at 60yrs - if anyone is thinking about it then go for it! A wonderful experience. I might do another when elderly.

Someone did the maths about sky diving for charity - evidently more is spent by NHS sorting out any mishaps and accidents than is ever raised by the various charities......honest was on QI so cannot be wrong.

David Cameron has just turned 50 , I believe. Could we get him to do it?
Baggsy I pack the parachute .........???

Take a lot more than that Alima!

I think Jingl should do it. Make a change from the bike. I will start the sponsorship, have a quid.

I broke an ankle in many places falling down two stairs many years ago- I dread to think what damage I could do falling from such a height. I doubt if my knee replacement would like it, apart from the fact I do not like heights.

GULP!!?

When hell freezes over!!

I do know someone who is about 79 who would probably do it, I will mention it to her if I see her (haven't seen her for ages though).

The Alzheimer's Society is doing a walk soon, I have sponsored a lady of 85 who will be doing it. However, that is on terra firma.

Have you not found someone yet?

Well, I am surprised!
