Mhairi's Jumping Out Of A Plane!!!

Story

I am terrified of flying and terrified of heights so I have decided to take part in Meningitis Now's Skydive Month! Yep...aaaahhhh! On the 19th July I will be throwing myself out of a plane! Although I am facing some serious fears it is all for a hugely important cause that is so close to my heart. Last year my little cousin Gregor was taken by this horrific disease and my family will never be the same. I now want to do what I can to join the fight against Meningitis in any way I can. Raising funds and raising awareness can make a big difference to research and support provided by Meningitis Now. This charity is so important as they are not only fighting for a cure but they also support families whose lives have been affected by the destruction of Meningitis. Hopefully I can raise a few pennies for this important cause! Thank you everyone for your continued support! Lots of love, Mhairi xxx

Date Change!

1st May 2014
Due to some exciting unforeseen circumstances I have unfortunately had to change the date of my jump. This is a shame as it means I won't be jumping with the Meningitis Now group on the 19th July. Thankfully the amazing folks at Meningitis Now and St Andrews Skydive have managed to rearrange a new date for me to jump which is amazing! So... I will now be throwing myself from a plane on July 26th and it will still be for this wonderful cause! :)

Target Hit!

8th April 2014
Today my £500 target has already been beaten with over two months to go until the big day! Thank you everyone from the bottom of my heart for all of your incredible support! Wow! Let's see how much more I can raise before I throw myself out of a plane! :) Thank you, thank you, thank you !!! So much love <3

Cupcakes, Comedy and Cards!

24th March 2014
Today I received all my wonderful Meningitis Now branded bits and bobs for my first fundraiser for this Skydive page! Cupcakes and Comedy will be taking place on Friday 28th March at the Tron bar in Edinburgh at 8pm. I am hoping to raise some wee pennies here whilst people have a good old time! I also received a surprise cheque for a huge £75 squids from my incredible Auntie Sheila and Uncle Andy from away up in the North of this lovely country! Made this Monday morning rather magical! Feeling very blessed on this very sunny day to all the amazing people who are involved and supporting my fundraising efforts! You are all absolutely magnificent humans!
